The considered of Jalen Ramsey in a Chiefs uniform might look a tiny peculiar after the trash converse he sent in Tyreek Hill’s path last period, but Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report thinks it would be an excellent go for the staff to make this offseason.

Gagnon listed a hypothetical swap of Ramsey to Kansas Metropolis in exchange for a initially and 2nd-round draft decide as his preference for the Chiefs a the latest piece listing excellent offseason trades for each and every NFL staff. It would be a significant value to pay for the Chiefs, but it would carry them a needed significant-conclusion cornerback that can drastically improve the defense

“The Chiefs secondary wants a deal with person like Ramsey in a gigantic way, and at minimum Ramsey is relatively low-priced for two extra many years,” wrote Gagnon. “Of system, that’ll make it really hard to persuade the Jaguars to pull the result in on a trade involving a 24-calendar year-old who has two Pro Bowl nods and nine interceptions in a few NFL seasons, but Ramsey could presently be wearing out his welcome in Jacksonville.”

Would the Jaguars entertain the strategy of investing Ramsey? A report from ESPN in November advised they would, citing an unnamed league resource as stating the Jaguars would “definitely” think about relocating Ramsey this offseason (the Jaguars rapidly issued a assertion denying that report). Ramsey, who was a initially-round decide of the Jaguars in 2016, is underneath contract by 2019 with a staff choice for 2020 that the Jaguars ought to determine by May well 2 regardless of whether or not to decide up. He appeared to be taking his upcoming in stride when discussing the topic at the Pro Bowl in January.

“I really do not know all the modifications (in advance),” Ramsey explained, for every the Florida Instances-Union. “I really do not manage the entrance place of work. I get pleasure from my upcoming and have confidence in in God. What will be – will be.”

Hardly ever just one to be shy about expressing his viewpoint, Ramsey ruffled some feathers in Chiefs Kingdom back in Oct when he took a shot at Tyreek Hill by making it a stage to get in touch with him a “return specialist” (“I’m looking ahead to participating in the activity, looking at our protection against their offense,” Ramsey explained ahead of Jacksonville’s activity against Kansas Metropolis in Week 5. “I really do not like how whoever has designed it a matchup me against Tyreek. He’s excellent for what he does for their staff. He designed All-Pro as a return specialist – let’s get that suitable – as a return specialist his rookie calendar year. He went to two Pro Bowls – as a return specialist. A return specialist. Two many years I designed All-Pro at my place as a corner. I went to the Pro Bowl as a corner. So it is not a broad receiver compared to corner matchup. So we can get that out of the way off-bat.”). Hill and the Chiefs place a 30-14 beating on Jacksonville, then Hill went on to demonstrate Ramsey’s terms wrong by winning initially-staff All-Pro honors as a receiver after catching 87 passes for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns. The two of them were all smiles at the Pro Bowl and probably would be if by likelihood they at any time played on the same staff.

Ramsey, 24, would certainly attract fascination from a selection of NFL groups if he became accessible and would in most probability by a better cornerback by a broad margin than just about anything the Chiefs could obtain in absolutely free agency or even the draft. He’d be yet another player the Chiefs would have to give a big contract to down the line in purchase to hold, but in terms of improving their secondary for a operate at the Super Bowl in 2019 and 2020, Ramsey would make an immediate and sizable impact.
