Wasn't he "speculated" to have gotten a deal that would have put him in the top 3 among DE in the league? Is Yan a top 3 DE? Is he playing like one so far? He had a chance to take a deal and he said no.

So now we've gone from being professional to signing a deal that wouldn't overpay him?

Okay.  

Brandon Linder signed a five year extension that made him the highest paid C in NFL history at the time it was signed.

Was Brandon Linder the best C in NFL history at the time he signed the deal?  Is he now?  Was he ever?  Are any of you on record objecting to the Linder deal?

So if Ngakoue has met the acceptable standards of professionalism, and the team has a proven history of overpaying players with little to no objection from those of you trying to explain away the lack of a deal for Ngakoue, why the double standard?

With apologies to those who have typed or read this 14 times, the deal offered him was reportedly a three year deal with a two year out and he wanted a long term deal, which is a common ask at his age and production.

Thank you.

Given his age, production and professionalism, if anyone has earned a longer term deal, it's Ngakoue.
