In this story:

The trade rumors surrounding star Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey are only getting hotter, with favorites now emerging around the NFL for his services. 

And while that could be exciting for some, Ramsey himself does not seem to be in the best of spirits about his status with the franchise. 

Most recently, Ramsey used a famous rant from former NBA star Allen Iverson, to express his feelings on the matter.

During his rant, Iverson was responding to trade rumors of his own, and Ramsey can obviously relate. 

"When I lose, this is what I gotta go through? When I lose? I can't win 'em all," Iverson said in the now-famous press conference. "I'm human. I'm just like ya'll man. I'm just like you. I'm just like you. You might be a little bit better than me, in your eyes or the people that love you and their eyes, you might be a little better than me. But you human! You just like me. Right? You just like me. You ain't no different. You just like me. You bleed just like I bleed. You cry just like how I cry, you hurt just like I hurt, I ain't no different."

In 2022, Ramsey started all 17 games and finished with four interceptions for the second straight season. He also had two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and recorded his first-career sack before finishing the season with two of them.

And despite those many asserting that Ramsey struggled, or was used incorrectly within the defense, he was also named to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Eagles defensive back Darius Slay.

Should the Rams indeed move on from Ramsey, he will be their second defensive star of the season to leave the Rams, with star linebacker Bobby Wagner set to be released at the beginning of the new league year.
