Ngakoue and the Jaguars will have to coordinate when he is heading to signal his tag Sunday so he can be traded to the Vikings. Due to the fact Ngakoue did not indication the tender ahead of the July 15 deadline, he need to perform this year less than the tag, valued at $17.8 million, just before he can signal a extensive-phrase deal.

Ngakoue also was directly liable for 5 of the 12 defensive touchdowns the Jaguars have scored because 2016: a decide on-6, a fumble return and a few pressured fumbles on sacks that other gamers recovered for TDs. Another pressured fumble resulted in a touchdown in the 2017 playoffs.

He declared in March through Twitter that he explained to the team he wasn’t heading to signal a prolonged-term offer and in April went on a Twitter tirade towards Tony Khan, the son of owner Shad Khan and the team’s senior vice president of soccer administration and technological innovation.

The Jaguars are loaded for the 2021 draft in which several expect Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence to be the No. 1 decide on.
