What is Yannick Ngakoue Trying to Tell Us?

Defensive end Yannick Ngakoue wants out of Jacksonville.

Should the EAGLES GET HIM!?

Maybe.

The Jags slapped the non-exclusive tag on him, which means he’ll be expensive, more than $17 million per year. But he’s 24 years old and a stud, a guy with 37.5 sacks in his four NFL seasons who would look really damn good in Eagle green.

Cue the cryptic social media posts, like this one here:

A bird emoji… Is that an eagle? A falcon? A seahawk? Is Yannick visiting the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Berks County? Is he looking for turkey vultures up there?

He also liked a few Philly-related posts, including a tweet from Jason La Canfora saying the Eagles have interest:

Ngakoue would be expensive, probably a first round draft pick involved. And then you’d have to pay him a huge amount of money.

But he’s a fantastic player and would look nasty on a defensive line that already includes Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, and Brandon Graham.

Would you #DoTheDeal?

Edit:

He did another post with Reggie White –
