FWIW, from Calais:

"Count defensive end Calais Campbell among those who believe the Jaguars must figure a way to keep defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The contract status of Ngakoue, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March at the start of the 2020 NFL League Year, is expected to be a major topic for the franchise this offseason. Ngakoue and the Jaguars failed to reach a contract extension last offseason, with Ngakoue holding out early in training camp before registering eight sacks in 14 games played this season. “You can’t let that guy leave,” Campbell said. “Guys like that don't grow on trees. He plays with so much passion and he’s just scratching the surface. He plays with so much tenacity and he can change the game. … I know it’s going to cost a lot to keep him, but I would not let him go.” Marrone on Sunday reiterated what he has said throughout the season – that Ngakoue played this season with professionalism and passion despite the contract issue. “I have been here for four years and I’ve learned a lot,” Ngakoue said. “Business is business and I’m not sure what the future holds.”"

C. Campbell is a pro. I understand there is a maturity gap, but Yan is not acting like a pro.

How the [BLEEP] is he not acting like a pro?  What are the horrible remarks he's made.  He isn't even close to the [BLEEP] Ramsey was whining about, and you want to lump them into one.  What a joke.
