3. The Jalen Ramsey saga

I’m on record for saying Jalen Ramsey didn’t handle his saga with the Jags well, but neither did they. As an organization in the league, it’s never good when you can’t find common ground with your franchise player and don’t so much as shoot him one contract offer. The players on the outside looking in will definitely develop their perceptions of the organization, most of which might not be good.

It’s well documented that Coughlin had his share of run-ins with Ramsey. With him having such a strong personality, the two never saw eye-to-eye and it led to Ramsey leaving although I believe that wasn’t his only reason for departing. However, it’s a possibility that Ramsey could’ve remained with the team if they offered him the right kind of extension, but fans will never know.

In an era where players like to feel appreciated, pending free-agents and players currently on the roster are likely confused about what it takes to be rewarded by this franchise. It also doesn’t help for them to witness the Jags prioritize outsiders (free-agents) over homegrown talent (players drafted by the Jags) who’ve put together a solid body of work on the field.
