Jaguars Place Tag On Yannick Ngakoue
5 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars officially placed the franchise tag on defensive end Yannick Ngakoue on Friday, according to a source. This was expected all along. With Ngakoue no longer interested in a long-term deal with the team, though, he's one of the best candidates in the league to be tagged and traded, something that has become a trend in the NFL the last couple of seasons. Plenty of teams will be interested in the pass-rusher, and the Jags could get several draft picks for him. The soon-to-be 25-year-old has 37.5 sacks in four seasons with Jacksonville and has become a strong fantasy pick in IDP leagues. He had 41 total tackles (36 solo), eight sacks, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one interception in 15 games last season.
