section314 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 1 hour ago, T0mShane said: It reminds me of the Van Roten situation where the deal was supposedly dead right before it went through. There are two issues afoot: paying Jacksonville and then appeasing Ngakoue’s agent, and it’s the agent that’s whining about this. I’d imagine Douglas is wielding a lot of leverage over him considering Ngakoue’s choices are 1. Remain holding out in Jax with no money coming in and taking fines, or 2. Come play for Gregg Williams on the tag with the promise of a nice extension next January. You think Marrone is playing his "I hate the Jets" card? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Or, and just hear me out on this, we can pretend they are good, based on no evidence, and be really sad when week 1 arrives and they are still awful.Super bowl, you guys At some point one of these GM's we hire is going to need to address the fact that we are never good at the premium positions on an NFL football team. We need a legitimate pass rush. We never have one. I'm not saying Yannick is or isn't the guy we should be targeting but this is such an important need on a football team. Jordan Jenkins and Terrell Basham are useful players. But they aren't difference makers.

FidelioJet Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 4 hours ago, Dcat said: no worries. I won't be disappointed. Signing him makes no sense without a log-term deal anyway. Conveniently ignored by all on this site. I'll agree with you about that. If he could have locked him up long term it was certainly a possibility. JD does eventually want to win - so if he could have gotten him cheap and signed him long term it might make sense...but no way does he risk at least a 2nd rounder for a throw away year and then not be able to sign him long term. There would be ZERO logic to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/news/training-camp-buzz-trade-for-jaguars-de-yannick-ngakoue-isn-t-imminent Training Camp Buzz: Trade for Jaguars DE Yannick Ngakoue isn't imminent Published: Aug 20, 2020 at 12:01 PM Around the NFL Staff nfl.com The Jaguars are open to trading Yannick Ngakoue. They're also open to keeping him. Just don't expect either development to materialize anytime soon. Amid buzz that Ngakoue is about to be moved, possibly to the New York Jets, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported a deal isn't impending. "I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but as of now, no trade is imminent or close," Rapoport said. "And several of the teams that are reported to be involved, including the Jets, are not actually involved. There could be a market, I know the Jaguars have had certainly some interest in trading Yannick Ngakoue, it's something they would absolutely consider for the right price. You look at this guy, he's young, he's a pass rusher, premier position, he makes a lot of money, which makes it hard for a lot of teams to take on in a pandemic but the price is going to be high. You're looking at probably a second-round pick or better." The fifth-year pass rusher is still seeking his own price for his services. He's the league's lone player to not sign his franchise tender ($17.8 million) and has been adamant about not wanting to play in Jacksonville anymore. Rapoport noted that Ngakoue recently signed with a new agency and therefore could mend fences with Jags management. "They've had kind of a reboot. It will be interesting to see if at the end of all this, after public vows to not play for the Jaguars, we will see if he ends up going back and deciding to get paid rather than not get paid. All options are still on the table, but nothing is imminent for one of the best players still unsigned." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggin94it Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 3 hours ago, Jetsfan80 said: Show me his more current numbers, and I'll shut up about it. Until then, I'll consider it a concern. Look, athleticism is important because it's highly predictive; it's exceedingly rare for players with these numbers to put up consistently strong stats and play as a pass rusher. But predictive and rare don't mean that it's impossible for someone with Ngakoue's athleticism to be an elite DE - just that you shouldn't expect it. He's had enough of a sample size in the NFL to be pretty certain that he's an outlier. He's played 63 games over 4 seasons, and has been remarkably consistent. At least 8 sacks per year, every year (high of 12 in 2017). Roughly 30 tackles per year (high of 41 last year). Typically 4 forced fumbles a year (4-6-0-4). The odds that he'd fall off a cliff here are low; you're going to get what you pay for on this next contract, as long as you aren't expecting a 15-sack-per-year guy The DeMarcus Lawrence comp is a bad one, btw. Lawrence has been very inconsistent - his sack totals over his first 6 years in the league went 0-8-1-14.5-10.5-5. He's very up and down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlier for the remainder of his career? Yet to be seen. Guys with freakish athleticism tend to last longer and have a longer prime. To me, it's not a great bet to make to give up a high pick PLUS a mega deal for a guy who simply isn't close to being in that category. And Lawrence's inconsistency is precisely due to the problem I am suggesting here. He's not a great comp to Ngakoue, no. But he's evidence of the problem with banking on an "outlier" pass rusher that both of these guys are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 That's because JD is no pushover like Macc or even that clown Tannenbaum. JD sticks to his guns & you can just tell he doesn't give a f*ck was a bunch of nerd fans like us are saying on Jetnation or the twitter. I see JD as a strong negotiator BUT FAIR. I don't see him as a guy that goes back & forth with anyone in some ridiculous fashion. I see him as a guy that has an end game & doesn't waste time, especially his own. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 FWIW out of Jacksonville, I've been listening to sports radio all day, all the local guys who have the inside beat are saying Lombardi is absolutely full of it and nothing is imminent at all. They've been maintaining for a while that no deal is going to go down at all, so we'll see if that plays out but doesnt sound like anything is near close.
