According to ESPN\u2019s <strong>Adam Schefter<\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RamsJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jalen Ramsey<\/a><\/strong> requested a trade following Jacksonville&#8217;s Week 2 loss. Everyone would love to have a player as good as Ramsey, so there should be no shortage of suitors. However, let\u2019s take a look at the teams who could best utilize his talents.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jalen Ramsey\u2019s agent, David Mulugheta, confirmed he has requested a trade for his client.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1173724727074000896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 16, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top Jalen Ramsey Team Fits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h3>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs have the best young quarterback in the league in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MahoPa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/strong>, an elite head coach in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/ReidAn20.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andy Reid<\/a><\/strong>, and a ridiculous assortment of offensive weapons. However, Kansas City has one of the NFL\u2019s worst defenses and desperately needs an upgrade in the secondary. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MathTy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyrann Mathieu<\/a><\/strong> cannot do it alone, and the current trio of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WardCh01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charvarius Ward<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BreeBa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bashaud Breeland<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/F\/FullKe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kendall Fuller<\/a><\/strong> leave a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n<p>Acquiring Ramsey immediately fixes Kansas City\u2019s biggest weakness. The Chiefs already addressed their front seven issues by acquiring <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/ClarFr01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frank Clark<\/a><\/strong> and could fix their secondary by adding Ramsey to the mix. Patrick Mahomes is still on his rookie contract, and the reigning MVP is going to make a ridiculous amount of money when his next extension hits. The Chiefs need to go all-in before Mahomes&#8217; inevitable payday.<\/p>\n<h3>Philadelphia Eagles<\/h3>\n<p>The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the NFL\u2019s most complete rosters, but they need an upgrade at cornerback. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DarbRo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ronald Darby<\/a><\/strong> is better utilized as a depth option, and the five-year veteran is seeing too much time on the field. By acquiring Ramsey, the Eagles can solidify their secondary and create one of the more well-rounded defenses in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Cornerback wasn\u2019t an issue entering the season. <strong>Jim Schwartz<\/strong>\u2019 plan was to acquire a group of solid, yet unspectacular cornerbacks who could do their job while the front four pressured the quarterback. However, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/J\/JackMa02.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Malik Jackson<\/a><\/strong> is done for the year and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/J\/JernTi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Timmy Jernigan<\/a> <\/strong>suffered an injury in Week 2. With the interior pass rushers dropping like flies, the Eagles need to get better in the secondary.<\/p>\n<h3>Indianapolis Colts<\/h3>\n<p>Even without <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/L\/LuckAn00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Luck<\/a><\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> remain one of the NFL\u2019s most complete rosters. At 1-1, the Colts are serious contenders for the division crown thanks to their poor division. Adding Ramsey to the mix only improves their odds while shoring up the weakest part of the defense.<\/p>\n<p>The Colts probably won\u2019t be genuine Super Bowl threats with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BrisJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jacoby Brissett<\/a><\/strong>, so Indianapolis would need to sign Ramsey to a long-term deal for this trade to make sense. Fortunately, the Colts have the most cap space in the league (<a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/salary-cap-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$42.7 million<\/a>) and can easily afford to hand out an extension.<\/p>\n<h3>Everyone Else<\/h3>\n<p>These three teams make the most sense, but literally every roster in the NFL would look better with Ramsey. In today&#8217;s pass-happy NFL, there&#8217;s no such thing as too many good cornerbacks. Don&#8217;t be surprised if any of the other 31 franchises make a move for the talented cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"2Y25iv9VSrxWgsIpdK4TxA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1173874901\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'2Y25iv9VSrxWgsIpdK4TxA',sig:'-iBiWWqb0BbvOcGKZKB8SNW1SgZJEcEAsEYRrQ_7PmI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1173874901',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey has reportedly asked for a trade, and the talented All-Pro should have several interested suitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":73161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,54,12,21],"tags":[55,188,2887,5645,61,2629,56,730,5685,867,40,1576,46,1062,631,445],"class_list":["post-73157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chiefs","category-editorials","category-colts","category-eagles","tag-andrew-luck","tag-andy-reid","tag-bashaud-breeland","tag-charvarius-ward","tag-football","tag-frank-clark","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-jalen-ramsey","tag-kendall-fuller","tag-malik-jackson","tag-nfl","tag-patrick-mahomes","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-ronald-darby","tag-timmy-jernigan","tag-tyrann-mathieu"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
