I could see the Eagles being in the mix, especially with what Atlanta did to them. However, I've got another team that may be trying to jump in. How about Chicago? With Aaron Rodgers in their division and the Bears trying to win that division again, I think Ramsay would be perfect for Chicago, and he'd give them the push I think they need.

Only issues I see:

Chicago doesn't have their 1st rounder next year. It'd owed to Oak
They are one of the closest teams to the CAP limit
Their current starting CBs are studs, so I would assume if they traded for help it would be on the offensive side of the ball

They've already shown that They'll pull the trigger on a big trade for major talent and give the Guy a big contract (Mack), so it's plausible.

Oh, I thought that they still had that? I thought they only gave up 1 first round pick. And, as for the Cap, I think they would be the team to make that move anyway and figure out how to keep him.

Why do you care so much who is running the ball? That's just silly.
We've seen every year since 2014 it doesnt matter who is running the ball for us. They will produce regardless.

if you want to think Pollard will scare defences and produce as much as Zeke, feel free

This is a very ignorant perspective. And to make the "slave" analogy, it's nearly not even worth the thought of a reply.

EMPLOYEES. That is what the players are. Coaches are supervisors/bosses. Look up the basic business structure if you aren't familiar with it. I'm not going to explain any farther than that.
Wrong. Calling them employees is a little misguided. The NFL has a different dynamic of any sports organization in the world. No guaranteed contracts. Shortest average career length. Long initial contracts via draft. Rules that limit player choice and money 5th year options and franchise tags. Players in the NFL have such little control over their career now. If you are stuck with a bad coach or "boss" as you put it, you need to get out asap so they dont waste valuable years of your short career. RIP barry sanders and megatron. Look no further than 0-16 marinelli

Every one of those provisions are established by a CBA that is agreed to by the NFL players association who represents all players as a whole. Your argument is completely wrong. By every detail of the definition, NFL players are, in fact, employees.

I think I saw underneath on the ticket on NFLN that the Jags are seeking 2 first round picks for Ramsey

Seems Philly is seen as one of the most likely options. That would suck because their secondary is their weak spot........... but add a dominant CB like Ramsey helps them immensely. Seattle is also kicking the tires as is KC. Come on Big Red, make your move.
