Yannick Ngakoue Straight up Calls Out Jaguars on Twitter and Demands Trade

You had to feel this was coming, right?

After months of speculation regarding the Jacksonville Jaguars' supposed efforts to trade defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, there haven't really been any significant developments to indicate that a deal is close.

On Tuesday, however, NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported that the Jaguars have received interest from a variety of teams. Jacksonville is aware of the leverage it now has and the franchise reportedly won't budge until it is completely satisfied.

The #Jaguars have heard from multiple interested teams about a possible trade for DE Yannick Ngakoue, who turns 25 today. The Jags value him and won’t give him away for little return but it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out as we draw closer to the draft.

All good, right?

Not exactly. Ngakoue used this news to further articulate his trade demands.

The 2017 Pro Bowler actually responded to Garafolo's tweet with a brash post of his own. Ngakoue cited his pursuit of a fresh contract extension and "taking care of his family" as the motivation to be handed a one-way ticket out of town.

Let’s agree to disagree . Why hold a man from taking care of his family. It’s obvious my time is up in my current situation. Let’s both move on @Jaguars ? https://t.co/XvGcSAQQkH

Anybody else think that Ngakoue has been taking lessons from former Jaguars teammate Jalen Ramsey? This tweet is eerily similar to the sort of antics that Ramsey pulled around the deadline to strong-arm a deal.

You really have to believe that an Ngakoue trade is on the horizon, so stay tuned for updates.
