Despite rumors, Chiefs have ‘no interest’ in Jalen Ramsey trade, per report

The rumor mill has been active ever since Jalen Ramsey asked the Jacksonville Jaguars for a trade, and the Kansas City Chiefs have been mentioned as a potential landing spot.

In particular, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports tweeted Tuesday morning that the Chiefs were emerging as a “primary suitor” for Ramsey.

There is a strong sentiment among many NFL GMs that the Chiefs will emerge as a primary suitor for Jalen Ramsey. They are all-in to win now. Have embraced difficult players. Have a big need at corner. Could their secondary hold up vs New England in January? What about w/Ramsey?

Jeffri Chadiha of NFL Network reached out to the Chiefs about this rumor, and the response he got from his source within the organization was distinctly different.

Hearing reports about @Chiefs being a front runner for @jalenramsey so I checked back with @Chiefs source who said there was no interest. This is a direct quote: “If something drastically changes (like he doesnt want a new deal lol) you’ll be first to know. But nothing there.”

For what it’s worth, the Jaguars are reportedly asking for two first-round picks in return for Ramsey.

That’s a steep price to pay.

Though, if the Chiefs were to add a player of Ramsey’s caliber to their defense, it would certainly improve their already good chances of winning a championship.
