Yannick Ngakoue Just Burned Every Bridge With Jaguars in Latest Tweet
Yannick Ngakoue has made it clear on multiple occasions that he does not want to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars. That may even be an understatement. He wants out as soon as possible and has no respect for the organization.
The defensive end had the franchise tag placed on him in March, only further driving a wedge between him and the team. His latest tweet shows that it is time for the Jaguars to listen and find a trade partner.
Was never about the money Duval. My situation was handled piss poor. God bless.

Ngakoue's problem is clearly with the Jaguars front office. His replies are filled with angry fans, but he doesn't share any ill will to those supporting the team. He is just angry with those in charge. General manager Dave Caldwell now needs to find a trade partner or accept that this drama will linger on.
The #Jaguars have heard from multiple interested teams about a possible trade for DE Yannick Ngakoue, who turns 25 today. The Jags value him and won’t give him away for little return but it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out as we draw closer to the draft.

The fact Ngakoue made it clear this wasn't about the money shows he has burned every bridge with the Jaguars. There is no going back if he feels disrespected and this could lead to a nasty holdout, should he choose. The $17.8 million tag clearly isn't enough to convince him to play for an organization he despises.
