Asking price may be way high for this guy, even though he'd be nice

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Jaguars have recently "heard from multiple interested teams about a trade" for the 25-year-old Ngakoue. While Jacksonville "won't give him away for little return," the mere fact they're now fielding calls about the former third-round draft pick indicates Ngakoue is very much available. The Jags, remember, took a similar stance regarding Jalen Ramsey, another noted member of their 2019 defense, before dealing the All-Pro cornerback during the season.
The Jags control Ngakoue's rights after exercising the franchise tag on the pass rusher ahead of free agency -- a tag that would pay the Pro Bowler an estimated $17.8 million in 2020. But Ngakoue has been steadfast in advocating for a relocation. The Maryland product posted on Twitter shortly after reports he'd receive the tag that he no longer had interest in signing a long-term deal with the Jaguars. He has frequently endorsed speculation by Philadelphia Eagles fans that he could soon be playing for them.
And he responded to Garafolo's Tuesday report by saying "it's obvious my time is up in my current situation," asking the Jags to "move on."

Another day, another Yannick Ngakoue social media update linking him to the Philadelphia Eagles.
First, Ngakoue openly urged the Jacksonville Jaguars to trade him.
For those keeping track at home, Ngakoue has now posted pictures of the following Eagles players: Reggie White, Trent Cole, and Dawkins. He also posted a picture of a cheesesteak with a caption about how he’s never had one and needs to try one. At one point Ngakoue also shared a picture that had an eagle emoji in it. He’s either having a lot of fun messing with Eagles fans or he’s really trying to get Howie Roseman to trade for him. Maybe both!
I’m still reluctant to believe Yannick to Philly is actually going to happen. The Eagles have already spent a lot of resources on their defense this offseason and they’re already high on their defensive end rotation, even though you might not feel the same way.
Fun idea to think about Ngakoue in midnight green, though. Gives us something to pass the time while in quarantine
