Ngakoue could have been the answer to New York’s pass rush woes, but it looks like the Jets will never find out what kind of an impact the Maryland product could have made playing in Gregg Williams’ defense.

The Jaguars tagged Ngakoue despite him making it clear that he has no intention of signing a long-term contract extension with the organization. It’s safe to assume Jacksonville will now look to trade the 24-year-old defensive end, which effectively puts the Jets out of the running considering how high the asking price for his services will be.
