Can the Jaguars and Yannick Ngakoue find mutual ground?

In the end, when it comes to the tug-of-war between Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and the front office, It becomes a matter of dollars and sense.

There is no doubt that Ngakoue, the fourth-year pass rusher from Maryland, has outplayed his rookie deal that will pay him just over $2 million this season. There is also no disputing the Jaguars made him an offer this off-season that the rising star did not accept. Many thought it was acceptable given the average yearly salary was $19 million with $50 million over the first two years.
