Jaguars Cornerback Jalen Ramsey Doesn't Want Trade Request to be a Distraction
Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey told reporters that he is "focused on being the best teammate I can be while I’m here in Jacksonville" despite demanding a trade from the team.
Ramsey requested a trade from the Jaguars on Monday night. The request came shortly after a heated sideline confrontation with head coach Doug Marrone during Jacksonville's 13-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
"I want all my dogs to go out there and ball. I want to go out and ball with them–if I'm still here," Ramsey said on Tuesday.
Jacksonville drafted Ramsey with the No. 5 pick in the 2016 NFL draft. Ramsey is a two-time Pro Bowler with nine interceptions in his last three seasons.
The Jaguars fell to 0–2 in 2019 with Sunday's loss to Houston. They finished last in the AFC South in 2018 after reaching the AFC Championship in 2017.
