Stephen A. Smith Claims Jalen Ramsey’s Beef is Entirely With Jaguars VP Tom Coughlin, Not Doug Marrone

If you saw the highlights of the Houston Texans matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, then you’d saw the sideline confrontation between Jalen Ramsey and head coach Doug Marrone.

It looks like there’s more to Jalen Ramsey’s trade request than getting into that confrontation.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith revealed that a source close to Ramsey tells him that his issues in Jacksonville have “nothing to with (head coach) Doug Marrone” and “everything to do with (VP of football operations) Tom Coughlin.”

Stephen A. Smith just came on ESPN and said he got a text from a source close to the Jalen situation.

The Jaguars are reportedly trying to maximize their return on a Ramsey trade, asking for as much as 2 1st-round picks to acquire him.

Ramsey has not missed a start since being taken No. 5 overall by the Jaguars in the 2016 NFL Draft and he doesn’t plan on missing one when the team takes the field against the Titans on Thursday Night Football.
