i dont think he's a washout, but i don't think he has the peyton type of talent to control his situation. The ONLY way he'd agree to a new contract with anyone is if he thinks its close to what he could get after a good year going into a potentially uncapped season. I think both he and the teams looking at him (who may also be drafting a QB and only need one year) would rather take a test drive than commit at a high dollar cost up front.
If someone insists on a new contract, it'll probably be a cheap one that ramsey wouldn't want, and he's completely capable of saying no to that. I think right now ramsey is more concerned with a chance to start games than with the size of a contract, because if he can play and play well, he'll make a ton more money in the long run. signing a 3 year contract for his current market value (maybe 2mill a year) would be counter to his interests (if he plays well he could get 4mill a year like warner or harrington and possibly a 5 year deal because of his age).
