Defensive end Yannick Ngakoue reported to the Jaguars for the start of the club’s voluntary workouts. However, he stopped showing up after a few days, according to Mike Florio of PFT. 
Ngakoue is entering a contract year, so it seems likely that his absence is contract related. The 2016 third-round pick is set to make just $2.025MM, making him criminally underpaid given his production. Over the last three years, Ngakoue has racked up 29.5 sacks, and he should be in line for a monster payday if he keeps up the good work in 2019. Presumably, Ngakoue wants to lock in those dollars today rather than playing out the season.
The going rate for quality young edge rushers continues to skyrocket. Recently, Frank Clark inked a five-year, $105MM deal with the Chiefs after coming over fro the Seahawks. Days prior to that, Demarcus Lawrence signed a similar deal to stay with the Cowboys.
Ngakoue isn’t the only notable absence from Jaguars camp. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith also haven’t been on hand for voluntary workouts.
Smart kid, imagine losing out on a 100m contract because you got injured during voluntary workouts. I’m guessing Coughlin is interested in trading him too because he’s an old fart that doesn’t understand the definition of voluntary.
Everybody farts
Or he could just get cut and get paid nothing. Because that’s the meaning of non guaranteed contracts.
Great point on the smart kid part but the rest is just ignorance. Coughlin’s age has nothing to do with the ability to trade or sign someone and he knows the definition of voluntary in this case is synonymous with another word….CHAMPIONSHIP!
“Criminally underpaid.”
You might want to think about how you use that term when referencing a person getting paid over $2 million for one year to play up to 16 games…GAMES…a year.
I don’t feel sorry for any millionaires that think they aren’t getting paid enough.
Especially when Rookie contracts are set up by the league and agreed upon by the NFLPA.
It’s not like the Jaguars have decided to under pay him.
He was pretty happy when the Jags drafted him.
GREAT point!!!! Please keep posting so others look even more ridiculous with their ignorant comments.
everyday the price goes-up a little more
“…making him criminally underpaid…”
How many millions has he made playing a game? And that is how you want to classify his payment?
