Trade Machine: Yannick Ngakoue

Hello Gridiron! Welcome to another edition of hopefully many different posts involving the trade machine. Where I have listed a player and you are supposed to make a realistic trade for that player. Now I just want to throw this out here right now, a lot of the players I will be listing in the future have been in trade talks which is why I put them on here. However, they may not even get traded at all in real life. Anyways, this is just supposed to be a fun, little series proposing mock trades for the player I have listed. I have also decided to give a brief description of why exactly the player I have listed is in trade talks and a little bit of background information.

Now the most upvoted comment that is a realistic trade for Yannick Ngakoue will receive 10 or 15 coins. There will also be 100 coins awarded to someone if they can guess a trade exactly before it happens. And I may delete comments that are super unrealistic and just a joke.

Today’s Player: Yannick Ngakoue (Jacksonville Jaguars)

Well... Yannick Ngakoue is getting franchise tagged by the Jaguars, but he does not want to remain in Jacksonville any longer. Tweeting out: “The Jaguars are aware I no longer have interest in g a long term contract in Jacksonville. Duval, I love you and gave you guys everything I got. I’m thankful for the journey and look forward to continuing my career elsewhere. -91.” With the Jaguars hoping to get something out of this trade rather than letting Ngakoue walk in free agency. Being one of the top -rushers on the market available for trade, plenty of teams could use a player like Ngakoue.

Only 24-years-old, Ngakoue is still a young player that many teams would love to have on their team. However, for the Jaguars a big problem for them is that Ngakoue could refuse to sign the franchise tag like Jadeveon Clowney, creating a big problem for the Jaguars overall. Where his trade value is not as high as they intend.

Not to mention the horrendous cap space the Jaguars currently have. The tag will likely be around $19.3 million, while Ngakoue believes he is worth $22 million per season for a new contract. Whatever team trades for him will have to deal with the large cap space Ngakoue takes up. Since entering the league in the 2016 season, Ngakoue has produced 37.5 sacks and 14 forced fumbles.

So, what is your trade proposal for Yannick Ngakoue?
