Jalen Ramsey crouched in the back of an armored truck

Brandon Brooks Jersey , peered through a small window and waited for his introduction.The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback then flung open both doors, revealing dozens of phony money bags and a huge smile.Ramsey put on quite a show as the Jacksonville Jaguars reported for training camp Wednesday. The performance likely will serve as the start of a yearlong push for a new contract."It's time to get this money, money," the driver said into a megaphone as Ramsey exited the vehicle.Ramsey is entering the final year of his $23.3 million rookie contract. The Jaguars exercised the fifth-year option in the deal, meaning he's tied to the club for $13.7 million in 2020.Ramsey is one of the top cornerbacks, if not the best, in the league. He has nine interceptions and 44 pass breakups in three seasons while typically shadowing each opponent's No. 1 receiver.The Jaguars want the former Florida State star to be a long-term piece of their defense. But they're unwilling to give him an extension with two years remaining and already told him so.Still, Ramsey made it clear with his grand entrance that he expects to get paid handsomely — sooner rather than later.The driver dressed in all black and sporting an armored vest pulled up near the front gate and delivered a loud and glowing intro for teammates, fans and media."Y'all know what time it is?" the driver said. "This man's coverage is so good he's fixing to have his own cellphone service. The man's so good they're fixing to give him his own jail — called Jalen Towers — because these receivers are on 24-hour lockdown. If you check his pocket, he's got eight Master locks in his pocket. They're on lockdown all season. The man, the myth, Jalen Ramsey."Jacksonville has a little more than $9 million in cap space available, but should be in better financial shape next year after getting rid of about $24 million in dead money already paid to quarterback Blake Bortles, defensive tackle Malik Jackson, safety Tashaun Gipson, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and others.The team also has a more pressing need — signing standout defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.Ngakoue was a no-show for the start of camp amid contract negotiations and was placed on the reserve/did not report list. The team also placed absent linebacker Telvin Smith, who said in May he's taking the season off to "get my world in order," on the reserve/retired list.Jacksonville will gain another $9.75 million in salary cap space if Smith stays away all year.Even without that extra cash http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-jackson-jersey , the Jags have enough space to get a deal done with Ngakoue. A Pro Bowl selection in 2017, Ngakoue has 29½ sacks and 10 forced fumbles in three seasons. It's unclear, though, how a holdout will affect negotiations.Ngakoue showed up for the start of voluntary organized team activities in May and vowed to attend the remaining dozen practices. He emphatically stated he planned to play this season even if he didn't get a long-term contract. He bailed three days later and was fined nearly $90,000 for skipping a mandatory minicamp in June.A third-round draft pick from Maryland in 2016, Ngakoue is entering the fourth and final year of a $3.84 million rookie deal. He's due to make $2.025 million this fall — far less than other top playmakers at his position.The Jaguars have said they want to re-sign the 24-year-old Ngakoue, but there's no guarantee it will happen.Although Ngakoue has clearly outperformed his current deal, he's also an undersized defensive end who could be stouter against the run. Plus, the Jaguars landed his potential replacement in April when they selected Kentucky standout Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick in the draft.

Jason Kelce for example, was one. With him out, Isaac Seumalo got reps on the first team at center. Seumulo hasn’t been mentioned much, because well, it’s hard to evaluate guard play from the sideline at field level during practices. However, I’m told that there are people in the building who think he has had a very good camp, and could be another guy who makes a jump this season.15 players especially worth watching during the Eagles’ first preseason game - BGN 1 - Miles Sanders - #26. Easily the most intriguing player to watch. The Eagles’ second-round pick has been generating buzz for having a good camp. He’s clearly looked like the team’s most talented rusher. Now it’s time to see how he handles real game action. We know Sanders is a dynamic runner but can he earn the coaching staff’s trust when it comes to receiving, pass protection Womens Timmy Jernigan Jersey , and ball security? Durability is also worth mentioning given that Sanders was banged up in the spring and had an injury scare in camp. Now’s the time for Sanders to prove himself. It’d be great for the Eagles if he looks like he’s ready to be a major contributor.The Kist & Solak Show #108: The Sort Of Preseason Primer - BGN RadioMichael Kist and Benjamin Solak prepare for the start of preseason by kind of talking about it, including discussions on the previous preseason, matchups to watch, possible crushes that always emerge, and Ben makes his case for it being Wentz + Mahomes vs everybody else in 2019. Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.Preseason Opener - Iggles BlitzNate Gerry – The entire LB unit will be of interest, but Gerry is the young guy to focus on with KGH out. I’m curious if they play Gerry in the middle or the outside. He knows all of the LB spots and could play multiple spots in the game. There isn’t one area to focus on. Does he shed blocks well? Does he tackle well? Is he sound in coverage?PFF Preseason Week 1 Preview: Players to watch in all 16 games - PFFPhiladelphia’s roster is loaded with PFF favorites that should see significant playing time on Thursday and throughout the preseason. First-round rookie offensive tackle Andre Dillard finished the 2018 season as one of the best pass-blocking offensive linemen in college football, and former Stanford wideout JJ Arcega-Whiteside received a first-round grade from PFF’s draft analysts after lighting the Pac-12 on fire with his contested-catch ability and red-zone work. Rookie running back Miles Sanders, a former five-star recruit stashed behind Saquon Barkley at Penn State, could steal the starting nod away from Jordan Howard with a strong preseason. Sanders earned an 83.1 rushing grade a year ago, ranking 15th among draft-eligible backs.Nate Sudfeld is ‘one play away,’ and that’s just fine with him - PE.comThe reality, Nate Sudfeld isn’t afraid to remind anyone who asks, is that he was, in fact, “one play away” from taking over the reins for the Eagles’ offense in Super Bowl LII playing behind Nick Foles. Nobody remembers that, or wants to remember it. But it’s true. It’s a fact. One play away. So, the narrative of 2019 that Sudfeld is “one play away” from being the Eagles’ starting quarterback isn’t really all that new. You understand, then Stefen Wisniewski Jersey , why Sudfeld isn’t flinching. Yes, he’s entering the season in new territory as the presumptive No. 2 quarterback behind Carson Wentz, even if the Eagles continue to talk about the open competition at the position. No matter how it shakes out, the truth is this: Sudfeld is on a mission to improve his game, one day at a time.Scramble for the Ball: 2019 East Over/Unders - Football OutsidersAnd the offense should just get stronger with Andre Dillard, Miles Sanders, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside coming in. They’ll play small roles this year, being groomed for larger roles in 2020 and beyond -- that’s what good, well-run franchises do. Compare that to their rivals for the division title in Dallas, and it just feels like Philadelphia is so far ahead of the game at the moment. Like I said, I don’t have them as quite the same quality overall as you do, but they join the Patriots as the only two teams in this column who would shock me if they didn’t have a winning season. 10.5 is a big line, and I think the Eagles will probably spawn half-a-dozen “what’s wrong with them?” articles over the first half of the season. Road games in Atlanta, Green Bay, Minnesota, and Dallas make for a fairly front-loaded schedule, and the Eagles might be sitting at something like 3-4 in mid-October. I’m not sure they lose a game after Halloween, though -- not until the playoffs http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-carson-wentz-jersey , at any rate. I’m taking the over, as they’ll storm through the back half of that schedule and take home a first-round bye.Rotoworld’s fantasy football TE sleepers - RotoworldRotoworld’s Josh Norris and Patrick Daugherty discuss the tight end options that you may want to consider late in your drafts. [BLG Note: Dallas Goedert kicks off this list.]The quiet guy, the smart guy, the local guy and the class clown: Four undrafted Eagles O-linemen trying to earn a job - The AthleticOpeta is probably the only one of the four remaining undrafted rookie offensive linemen with a realistic chance to make the 53-man roster from the jump. One teammate described his talent as “eye-catching,” and if he stands out during the preseason games, Roseman might decide it’s worth it to give Opeta one of the final roster spots rather than risk losing him to another team. That calculus will be affected not just by Opeta’s play, but also by the number of injured players the Eagles end up having to carry on the Week 1 roster.Eagles rookie Shareef Miller prepares to make debut for hometown team: ‘It’s going to be a different feeling’ - PennLive“My first game at Penn State, I think I had like two sacks, too,” Miller said after practice Tuesday. “I was nervous, anxious because I was a new guy playing in front of Penn State — that’s like 100,000 [fans]. It’s going to be a different feeling playing for the Eagles. You’re in the NFL. This was my favorite team growing up, so it’s going to be a different feeling.”Eagles build sensory room for fans with autism and sensory challenges - NBCSPIn an ongoing effort to help those affected by autism, the Eagles this season have created a sensory room at Lincoln Financial Field.The 500-square-foot room at the Linc was created for fans with autism and other sensory challenges to provide a quiet and safe space. The Linc has also been certified as a sensory-inclusive stadium.According to a release from the team, the Eagles are one of the first sports franchises to build a room like this, which is pretty cool.Titans at Eagles: What to watch for in preseason game number one - Music City MiraclesA Johnathan Cyprien reunion: The Eagles signed the former Titans safety late last week and he is expected to suit up Thursday night. We are just over one year since his season ending ACL tear in training camp prompted Jon Robinson to go scoop up Kenny Vaccaro. After a great first season in Tennessee, Vaccaro got a brand new contract this offseason to be Kevin the bargaining table with lucrative deals. Position battles pit veterans against newcomers for the honor of announcing their names and alma maters on Sunday Night Football. So what have we learned so far this summer? What are the biggest questions that still weigh heavily across the league? We gathered SB Nation’s NFL team to gauge the early run-up to the 2019 regular season....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio
