Last night featured some big NFL news on a few fronts, with a good player getting the hell out of Miami, another good player trying to get the hell out of Jacksonville, and Trevor Siemian going down with what looked like a horrific injury on Monday Night Football.
All of these stories (or updates to those stories, in Siemian’s case) had one thing in common: they were broken on Twitter by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, either alone or along with his ESPN colleague Chris Mortensen. Here are his relevant tweets, in order:
CB Jalen Ramsey’s agent asked for a trade after yesterday’s loss at Houston, league sources tell @mortreport and me
The Jaguars have spoken with interested teams, but there is no current plan to trade Ramsey.

TRADE: Steelers are trading a 2020 first-round pick to the Dolphins for DB Minkah Fitzpatrick, league sources tell ESPN.

Jets’ QB Trevor Siemian is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his ankle Tuesday, per source.

Interestingly, here’s NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport’s tweets about these three pieces of news.
Sources: #Jaguars Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey has requested a trade from the team. This stems from his frustration with how he’s being used and from a confrontation with coach Doug Marrone on Sunday. This has been steadily building.

The #Dolphins have traded star DB Minkah Fitzpatrick to the #Steelers, sources say. It’s for a first rounder.

#Jets QB Trevor Siemian has an MRI scheduled for the morning to check out his injured ankle, source said.

A minute behind on all of them! Maybe Ian needs better cell service. Oh, and in a series of tweets that are probably completely unrelated, Chris Mortensen made frequent use of the rat emoji:

Definitely nothing to see here, people, please move along.
