The reason is because this FO isn't rewarding the players who actually deserve the extensions. Bortles, Cann, Jack, Lee..... None of those guys deserved the extension but they got one before arguably our best young defender (Yan).

If history repeats itself with this FO, then I'm sure they will botch the Ngakoue one just like the rest.

Lee and Cann were both free agents when they were resigned. Jack resigned in the last year of his rookie deal, and Yannick is also negotiating in the same time frame. Bortles was resigned to a middle of the road short term extension. These contracts aren't really making the point you think they are.

Bortles proves his point exactly (see prior post).  So does the Linder contract.  Ngakoue has been more consistent, productive and professional than Bortles was here, and Bortles got his extension.

Where's Yannick's extension? 

Ngakoue has been more durable and productive than Linder at a premium position vs. a lesser position.  He has at least made a Pro Bowl.  Linder has not,  and Linder got his lucrative extension that made him the highest paid C in league history.

Where's Yannick's extension?
