Rams LB Ernest Jones says he never requested a trade
A report on Sunday morning indicated that the Rams have given linebacker Ernest Jones permission to look for a trade after failing to make progress in talks on a new contract, but it doesn’t sound like Jones is itching to leave the team.
Jones posted on X on Sunday afternoon that he “never asked for a trade” away from the NFC West club. The team may still have offered him the chance to find a team that is willing to give him the kind of deal he’s looking for, but Jones’s response signals he’s willing to play out the final year of his current pact with the Rams.
Jones had 145 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and six passes defensed in 15 starts last season. He also had nine tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble in the team’s playoff loss to the Lions.
The Rams list Jones as a starter alongside Christian Rozeboom. Jacob Hummel, Troy Reeder, Omar Speights, Elias Neal, and Olakunle Fatukasi are also on the roster.
I don’t think that sentiment has anything to do with a standard contract negotiation.We, not Me.
The agent is doing his job; he's not greedy. The player isn't greedy.No kidding man! Here we are making fun of the Aiyuk situation and Jones says "Hold My Beer!" I'm very disappointed that a greedy agent got in his ear and he didn't follow his heart. A big payday will be here soon enough.
That's more of a response than I thought I was going to get. Thanks?
This guy will be confused between playing good and not getting hurt.
Sit him.
We will be fine. We do not need this bullshit this late in the pre-season.
To me he is no longer a Ram.
"HEY! That's my line! ~ @ottoman89Earnest needs to consider becoming more earnest in his negotiations while he is jonesing for a new contract.
Remember pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.....

His agent probably wasn't happy about it. It gives the Rams leverage if they know that he really wants to stay with them.And now apparently his X post has been deleted…
At least we don't have Nacua holding out for 35 million right now.
Yep. If his rook season production or anywhere near continues, he will get paid quickly. The Rams pay up.he can't get an extension for another 2 seasons.
then you better believe he will be asking for his pay day.

Problem with Jones is he has been quite average so having him wait is fair. And his position exacerbates that with the Rams. And lastly the emergence of Speights reinforces that stance.
Difficult for me to pass-up making a Monty Python reference.That's more of a response than I thought I was going to get. Thanks?

People questioning the character of players with impeccable records is a thing, I guess.This guy will be confused between playing good and not getting hurt.
