I'm still pretty confident they'll get a deal done before playing the franchise tag dance.

I sure hope you are right.

Ngakoue stating "they had their chance" to sign me was ominous.

Yes and no. The bottom of the tweet also says "before the season" so who knows if that's what he was implying. With another year left on his contract anyway, and if the team makes a bounce back to 2017, I doubt he'd refuse to sign in Jax over this dispute. 

It also seems like it stayed pretty civil on both ends. He was in contact with Marrone the whole time and never threatened a trade or anything. Seems like there's no lasting bad blood.
