The latest from the NY Daily News is that the Jets are gonna cut Ramsey soon because if they don't they owe him a $1.4M roster bonus. They'll try to trade him of course, but they've sort of decided that they don't need his services in NYC any longer.

So, what's the deal here? Is Ramsey still going to become a QB of the caliber of Favre/Manning/Elway (Hall of Fame players no doubt), or is he someone not worth the price of a phone call to see what his asking price is?
I'll vote for "not worth the price ... "
Patrick Ramsey = Thousand Dollar Arm + One Dollar Brain. |
The deal is that he couldn't take the pressure. He didn't have a good head, and couldn't handle the press if he did something wrong... He was a big baby.
