No extension this year for Ramsey
Jalen Ramsey at least isn’t mad about it. With two years left on his rookie contract, the star Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback was told his extension would not be coming this season. Ramsey told reporters he’s “not down or anything” about waiting on his big money contract. He’s due to make $3.634 million this season and $13.7 million in 2020 on his fifth-year rookie option. Last year Ramsey recorded 65 tackles, two for a loss, three interceptions and 13 passes defended.
“Imma ask for so much money, they have to put me on lay-away” 😂😂😭😭
