Yannick Ngakoue Ends Holdout Returning To Jags Without New Deal 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Aug 4, 2019 6:12 pm

Yannick Ngakoue has ended his 11-day holdout by returning to the Jacksonville Jaguars without a new contract.

Ngakoue said he wasn\'t going to take a contract he felt didn\'t match his value.

\"At the end of the day, they had a chance to sign me for a long-term deal, but it didn\'t get done,\" Ngakoue said after Sunday\'s practice. \"It is what it is. I\'m just here like I said. I love football, love my teammates, and I\'m here to play games.

\"... At the end of the day, I know my value, I know my worth. That\'s all I can say. Doesn\'t matter about anybody else knowing my value. I showed each and every year.\"

Ngakoue faces a fine of $528,650, which also includes $88,650 for skipping the team\'s mandatory three-day minicamp in June.
