The Arizona Cardinals, among other teams, have been linked to a possible trade for star cornerback Jalen Ramsey

It seems like every day now someone is asking to be traded in the NFL.  Each time we hear of a star wanting his way out of somewhere, Cardinals fans start commenting immediately whether it is a position of need or not.

With Jacksonville star cornerback Jalen Ramsey now asking out of town, certainly that piqued the interest of a number of Cardinals fans and local media.  There is just one thing though, the Cardinals don’t need him.  Here are three reasons why.

Money

So, when did the Cardinals find themselves with a lot of money.  It’s not like the Cardinals can afford Ramsey but let’s call for him anyway.

Ok, sure, maybe they could work it out somehow, but just how would they go about doing that?  If you’re adding payroll for Ramsey, you certainly are cutting it in another area they would leave deficient in the process.

Simply put, the economics of it all will not allow this to happen.  Someone will be able to promise him a lot more money down the road as well.
