Jalen Ramsey traded to Rams and may face Falcons this Sunday

I wasn’t real clear on why the Rams, who just lost Aqib Talib for an extended period of time, would trade away Marcus Peters for safety help. The answer to that question was revealed in short order, though, because the Rams just gave up a ton to get Jalen Ramsey.

The Jaguars had been in a holding pattern with Ramsey, who made it clear that he wanted out of Jacksonville because of disagreements with management. I just wasn’t sure a deal would actually get done, given that it’s very difficult to get value for a superstar cornerback.
