The Jacksonville Jaguars are willing to entertain trade offers for star defensive back Jalen Ramsey, but the asking price is understandably high.
The Jaguars want two first-round draft picks in any potential trade for Ramsey, Albert Breer of The MMQB reports.
Per rival clubs, the asking price for Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey is two first-round picks.
That's a starting point. And added to what it'd cost to extend Ramsey, it's a lot. But it's not totally crazy, given what Seattle got for Frank Clark and Miami got for Laremy Tunsil.

As Breer notes, the Kansas City Chiefs sent two high picks — a first-round and second-round — to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for Frank Clark back in April. They then signed the pass-rusher to a five-year extension. More recently, the Miami Dolphins landed a massive package of draft picks that included two first-round picks and a second-round pick when they traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Houston Texans.
The market would seem to indicate that two first-round picks for an All-Pro cornerback is not an absurd asking price. Ramsey has one more year left on his rookie contract after this season that will pay him $13.7 million, and he has been extremely vocal in letting the Jaguars know he wants a new deal. That same demand would likely apply to any team that trades for him, so acquiring him would be expensive, to say the least.
