With the deadline to sign franchised-tagged players to long-term contracts quickly approaching, the Jaguars and defensive end Yannick Ngakoue appear to still be at an impasse, likely ending the day with no long-term contract for the 2020 season.
As NFL rules stipulate, teams around the league will have until 4 p.m. ET to franchise-tagged players to long-term contracts, otherwise, they will be forced to play out the season on one-year contracts. For Ngakoue, he would play on a one-year $17.8 million contract in 2020, the value of the defensive end franchise tag for the 2020 season.
