The Jacksonville Jaguars recently offered edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue a short-term deal averaging about $19 million per year, according to a report by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The #Jaguars offered DE Yannick Ngakoue a short-term deal worth over $19 million per year with $50M-plus over the first two years before talks broke off yesterday, per league source. Ngakoue not reporting with his teammates today. If/when he does, it may be on his rookie deal.

Ngakoue obviously declined the deal in hopes of landing a long-term deal with the team who drafted him.
