New York Jets interested in prized edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue (Report)

According to Benjamin Allbright of Pro Football Network, the New York Jets are one of three teams interested in trading for Yannick Ngakoue. The Jacksonville Jaguars stud pass rusher is also drawing interest from the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.

Ngakoue is one of the elite edge rushers in the NFL. He’s recorded at least eight sacks in every year of his career. He’s also racked up at least 13 tackles for loss in each of the last two seasons.

He’s coming off arguably the worst season of his career though. Ngakoue put up a career-low number of pressures and his missed tackle percentage was around 20%.
