Jalen Ramsey was a shutdown cornerback after the Jaguars’ game Thursday night, too.
Ramsey told reporters he wasn’t going to review his trade request from earlier in the week. The Jags are rumored to be working on a deal involving the fourth-year star that could be completed as soon as Friday.
“I don’t want to answer any questions about (a) trade or anything like that, either,” Ramsey said at his locker after he helped the Jags beat the Titans. “I said what I had to say about that for now.”

Ramsey said a lot in a podcast with Nate Burleson for Uninterrupted, starting with his claim that people with the Jaguars said “disrespectful things” to him after the team’s loss Sunday to the Texans and after Ramsey had gotten into a sideline disagreement with coach Doug Marrone during the game.
He said the postgame comments (per a transcript from CBSSports.com) “made me definitely walk out and call my agent as soon as I walked out. I said, ‘It’s time. My time is up here in Jacksonville.’ I said, ‘I want to ask for a trade.'”
Ramsey did not say who directed those comments to him.
While Ramsey is expected to soon be dealt to one of many interested teams, former Jaguars star Maurice Jones-Drew believes Jacksonville will remain Ramsey’s team for the time being.
“When you talk to everyone in this building and this stadium … everyone knows that you’re better with Jalen Ramsey, period,” Jones-Drew said on NFL Network’s postgame show Thursday, “and if you have a chance, if you want to win, you need him on the field, and I think that’s what they’re going to do.”
