Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has been franchised.
And now is the Eagles time to make a trade.
Ngakoue has said he does not intend to sign a long-term contract with the Jaguars, so it appears likely that he’ll be traded.
That has become the norm around the NFL: Last year three pass rushers were franchised — Jadeveon Clowney, Dee Ford and Frank Clark — and all three of them were traded.
The big question now is which team will trade for Ngakoue, and how much the Jaguars can get in a trade for him. The Jaguars already have two first-round picks in this year’s draft, and they’d love to get a third.
