Yannick Ngakoue Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars have heard from multiple interested teams about a potential trade for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, who is turning 25 years old on Tuesday. The Jaguars place a lot of value in the pass-rusher and won't just give him away for a little return. But the former third-round pick in 2016 was unhappy with receiving the franchise tag and isn't interested in a long-term extension with the team. He'll be a prime IDP target no matter where he's playing in 2020 after recording 37.5 sacks in his four seasons in the NFL. Last year he had eight sacks, 41 tackles (36 solo), 13 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, an interception returned for a touchdown, six passes defensed, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 15 games.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have not had any trade discussions regarding defensive end Yannick Ngakoue with any team, according to sources. The Jags put the franchise tag on Ngakoue with the intention of turning around and trading him after he said he's no longer interested in a long-term deal with the organization. That could still happen, but it might not be for a while. The soon-to-be 25-year-old has become one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL after racking up 37.5 sacks in the last four seasons with the Jaguars. He was drafted in the third round in 2016.

The 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.
