JACKSONVILLE Mens Josh Allen Jersey , Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Marcell Dareus grabbed his lower back, feigning pain and a limp, as he left the locker room Wednesday.“Oh, my back,” Dareus joked, taking a not-so-subtle shot at newly departed cornerback Jalen Ramsey.It was the most negative thing the Jaguars (2-4) said publicly about their former teammate. Privately, though, several guys expressed relief that the monthlong saga was over.Jacksonville traded Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday for three draft picks, including two first-rounders. The move came one month after Ramsey’s trade request followed a heated sideline argument with coach Doug Marrone and a less-public exchange with personnel chief Tom Coughlin.Ramsey sat out the last three games with a back injury that several people inside the organization believe was either made up or exaggerated to avoid playing for the Jaguars. Team doctors had cleared him to practice and play.“Every man has his own journey, his own destiny,” defensive end Yannick Ngakoue said. “We all handle situations differently. … At the end of the day, it’s a business.”Owner Shad Khan released a statement saying the team is “doing just fine” without Ramsey. Coughlin also weighed in via a statement: “Given the situation with Jalen, we made this decision based on what we thought is in the best interest of the Jacksonville Jaguars, for this season and well into the future.”The trade went down a week after Khan said he had a “heart to heart” with Ramsey and expected him to play against New Orleans, and two weeks after Khan said he didn’t want to deal the fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft.Khan Black Josh Allen Jersey , Coughlin and general manager Dave Caldwell left Marrone to answer questions about parting with one of the franchise’s best players in its 25 years of existence. Jacksonville got first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 as well as a fourth-rounder in 2021.It could end up being a decent haul for a player who caused as many headaches for his coaches as he did opponents . Or it could haunt the franchise for decades, especially if the usually verbose Ramsey lets his Pro Bowl play do the talking.“I’m sure five years from now, 10 years from now, someone will be able to write about it,” Marrone said, expressing frustration with being grilled on a trade he had little, if any, say in executing. “It’s not my job to do that. And again, I know you guys are probably frustrated, but you’re talking to a guy that has a big job to get the players ready.“I just wish I can give you the insight and the answers that that question needs to be answered. I don’t have that.And I wish we could get someone up here that can answer it. I do. But it’s me. … You don’t know until down the road.”The Jaguars, who play at Cincinnati (0-6) on Sunday, already started taking steps to rid Ramsey’s image from the stadium and the city.They took down a banner outside the practice field that featured Ramsey, Ngakoue, injured quarterback Nick Foles, linebacker Myles Jack Womens Brandon Linder Jersey , running back Leonard Fournette and defensive end Calais Campbell.They are working to redo a huge advertisement outside the stadium that features Ramsey standing between Ngakoue and fellow cornerback A.J. Bouye as well as a Jaguars promotional vehicle.They also emptied his locker stall and removed his name plate.“We can’t question everything going on with in front office, everything going coaching staff, things like that, the moves,” Bouye said. “We just have to accept what it is and then just keep moving forward.”Replacing Ramsey might prove more difficult. Jacksonville is 1-2 with second-year pro Tre Herndon starting in his place.“Once he spoke his wishes, there was no like, lock Jalen in a room and say, ‘Hey, we need you,'” defensive tackle Abry Jones said. “People want to talk about distraction, but y’all couldn’t find him for an interview, could y’all? He did his best to not cause a distraction because that’s how he felt about this team.“Even though he wanted (to be traded), he’s still got people on this team he loved that he called brothers and he’s not going to make no big thing about him wanting to leave — which is very big — but he wasn’t going to make no whole ordeal because that’s how he felt about this team. I respect for him and I respect his wishes to go.”Ramsey clearly won the standoff. He didn’t miss a paycheck and was ultimately granted his request.“In the back of my mind I just figured one of these weeks Jalen was going to be back and we were going to be back playing with him,” Jack said. “But we just have to move on and keep pushing.” HOUSTON (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars could have played it safe on Sunday against the Houston Texans and kicked an extra point after scoring a touchdown with seconds left to likely send the game to overtime.Instead, they went for the win. And Jalen Ramsey Jersey , Leonard Fournette’s run for the 2-point conversion failed in the 13-12 loss.Houston (1-1) led by 7 in the fourth quarter when Jacksonville rookie Gardner Minshew led a long drive that included an 18-yard run on fourth-and-10, and he capped it with a 4-yard TD pass to DJ Chark.Instead of trying to tie it with an extra point, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone opted to go for the potential win by having Fournette attempt to run it in. But the big running back was stopped by Justin Reid. The play was upheld by video review.“We had a bunch of different plays called (depending on the defense),” Marrone said. “At the end of the day, we were fine with any of them. We came up a couple of inches short and we lost the game.”Fournette believed he got in.“You seen it,” he said. “I tried to jump across and felt like I got over, but they thought otherwise.”Marrone said he decided before the last possession that he would go for two points if the Jaguars (0-2) scored a touchdown.“I said, ‘If we start driving the football and score with a certain amount of time left, I’m going to go for 2,'” he said. “I immediately had the play in mind before the drive even started. I was very, very comfortable with it. It just didn’t work.”Minshew, a sixth-round pick, threw for 213 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars in his first NFL start filling in for Nick Foles, who broke his collarbone last week.He was disappointed Fournette didn’t get in, but believes the Jaguars made the right decision by going for the win.“We felt really good about the call http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-dede-westbrook-jersey ,” Minshew said. “We had the right look. Leonard was close. I thought he got it, but that’s how it goes sometimes. I’d bet 10 times out of 10 for him to get in there.”Even Reid wasn’t surprised the Jaguars gambled for the win with Fournette.“Well, Fournette is their guy,” Reid said. “If I was their offensive coordinator and I could put the ball in anybody’s hands I would have put it in Fournette’s hands, too.”Marrone was impressed with the Minshew’s performance after being thrust into the starting role despite the loss.“He doesn’t play like a rookie,” Marron said. “There are some things that he’ll improve on. … We have to keep working and have to do a better job of coaching it and a better job performing it. On that last drive, you could see the poise that the kid has. He was able to go down the field and score. He’s not a guy that gets rattled, he understands what we’re trying to get accomplished, and I couldn’t be happier with him.”The last play wrapped up an interesting game that included a heated exchange between Marrone and star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The Texans led 3-0 after a field goal with about two minutes left in the first quarter. Ramsey was apparently upset that Marrone didn’t challenge a catch by DeAndre Hopkins on third-and-2 earlier in that drive and the two were seen yelling at each other on the sideline after that drive.Marrone was asked about the exchange and didn’t provide many details.“There are a lot of emotions in the game,” he said. “I don’t know. I can’t recall.”Ramsey refused to talk to reporters after the game.
