The Jalen Ramsey sweepstakes are heating up. The Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback is expected to play in his team’s Thursday night matchup against the Tennessee Titans before getting dealt Friday, according to multiple reports.

“Almost every team has at least placed a call” to the Jaguars on Ramsey, ESPN’s Josina Anderson tweeted Thursday afternoon. But Anderson placed the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens among the teams to have made “substantive inquiries” on Ramsey.

Around 15 minutes after Anderson’s report, NBC Sports’ Peter King placed the Eagles and Ravens among four teams he had a “gut feel” for as landing spots for Ramsey.

I'm told Jalen Ramsey is fine playing TNF tonight, but a source just told me he doesn't anticipate being a member of the #Jags next Sun. Teams like KC, BAL, MIN, OAK, PHI, SEA hv all made substantive inquiries, but my understanding is almost every team has at least placed a call. — ig: josinaanderson (@JosinaAnderson) September 19, 2019

The (rather obvious) fact that Ramsey would not be able to play for a new team Sunday if he plays Thursday and then is traded was (thankfully) pointed out by some NFL insiders Wednesday night and Thursday morning. But the Jaguars appear poised to place things in motion.

Joining the Eagles and Ravens among the teams with “substantive inquiries” for Ramsey: the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks. The Chiefs, Seahawks and Vikings have also come up in previous reporting on Ramsey’s future, along with the Ravens and Eagles.

Gut feel, Ramsey landing spots:

1 Phl: Roseman unafraid, can offer 1+3+SJones.

2 Sea: Schneider unafraid, major CB need.

3 KC: Reid unafraid of big chances.

4 Bal: DeCosta unafraid but loves building thru draft.

Look for trading team to talk to agent 1st+try for long-term deal. — Peter King (@peter_king) September 19, 2019

It was previously reported that the Jaguars are looking at a first-round pick as the starting point for compensation in a deal for Ramsey. It could be first-round pick plus a player, two first-round picks or some other combination of players and draft picks. And King’s potential offer for the Eagles of a first-round pick, a third-round pick and third-year cornerback Sidney Jones fits those parameters.

And while King points out that Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta wants to build through the draft, Baltimore was aggressive in free agency this offseason by bringing in safety Earl Thomas and running back Mark Ingram.

The Ravens already boast one of the NFL’s top secondaries with Thomas, Marlon Humphrey, Tony Jefferson, Brandon Carr and the injured Jimmy Smith. Ramsey would undoubtedly cement that group’s place in the upper echelon.

There’s another thing worth remembering with King’s reporting of a “gut feel” for the Eagles. Last year, he said he expected quarterback Carson Wentz to return from his knee injury against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 as “just a guess” during a radio appearance. He was the lone insider to peg that as Wentz’s return, even though he couched it in vague language.

Lo and behold, Wentz returned in Week 3.

Obviously, that might not mean much on Sept. 19, 2019, but it’s worth remembering as the Ramsey saga churns toward its conclusion.
