Yannick Ngakoue Trade Becoming More Unlikely
5 years agoThe clock is running out on a deal for Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue with the draft approaching Thursday evening, and there hasn't been much traction on a trade to date. Ngakoue was given the franchise tag, but he's disgruntled and wants out of Jacksonville. However, a trade involving a player like him is complicated, not only because of the compensation, but because he'll demand a large contract extension with any team that's interested in trading for him. At this point, it's looking unlikely that he'll be moved, which means that he'd play the 2020 season on the franchise tag and become a free agent next offseason. Ngakoue has 37.5 sacks in his four seasons in the league and has become one of the better young pass-rushers in the NFL.
