Yannick Ngakoue was franchised by the Jacksonville Jaguars even though the player and team don’t seem to be getting along. Ngakoue even tweeted out a goodbye to the fans of Jacksonville. That didn’t stop the Jaguars from slapping the franchise tag on the defensive end.
We have placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on @YannickNgakoue

If Ngakoue isn’t staying put and the Jaguars are franchising him with their current cap situation it means a trade is coming. Last year we saw three edge players get the tag and then get traded. Jadeveon Clowney, Dee Ford, and Frank Clark all ended up playing somewhere else. Ngakoue is just as good as the guys mentioned above. He has a Pro-Bowl and 37.5 sacks in four years. He’ll be 25 by the time the next season starts and is only entering his prime.
Let’s try and figure out where Ngakoue could end up.
