Jalen Ramsey is just 24 years old with two pro bowl appearances, driving the Jaguars asking price way up. According to recent reports, the Jaguars are expecting to get “at least a first round pick” in return for the pro-bowl CB and Ramsey is looking to secure the bag. He’s looking for a new deal and the Jags picked up his 5th year option for the 2020 season, causing his base salary will jump from $3.63 million this season to $13.7 million in 2020. SHEESH! Luckily for Oakland, cap space isn’t an issue.

Mitch throws out his trade projection for Jalen and why he thinks that Ramsey could be sporting Silver and Black this season.
