Everything else around the 'bank is just springing up teal roses and pure like the morning dew drops, huh?

There's a disconnect somewhere in that building. Coughlin was hung out to dry for the majority of it. Which is fair. All of the reports that came out were primarily linked to him. And it cost him his job. 

We were then told Marrone was fired, then the news was quickly retracted, and then we heard a few months ago that Khan spoke with the players and the locker room and the feeling was that they all liked Marrone and that he should stick around another year. 

So, WTH is going on? Because nothing seems to add up. Flip "mutually" parts ways. Wash still has his job? As does Marrone? And here we are now with possibly the last piece of that 2017 defense (with the exception of Jack) being traded away along with Campbell and Bouye this off season after having dealt Ramsey away mid season last year. 

Pretty obvious it's a [BLEEP] show up there. We all know that. But there's a lot of actions not lining up with words as well between the players and the front office. That includes Yannick "Pay Da Man!" Ngakoue.

At this point I think pride may be getting in the way of him signing a long term deal.  If we do deal him to a team that offers him less, he'll have to come up with some other excuse about wanting to leave.  But up until now this whole time it's only been about the money for him.  And if you end up getting paid less, pretty obvious he didnt go about this well.

I agree. His agent got way, way, WAY too far into his head. Over inflated his value along with his ego. And now he's getting a dose of reality. Nobody is going to pay you Shire Horse size money if you're just a One Trick Pony. And so far? He's been exactly that. 

He's an above average pass rusher that leaves you wanting in the run game department. And he played with some pretty talented players along the front four that he benefited from for the most part. 

He shouldn't be getting $17.5M - $20M+ per year. Unless you're putting up Reggie White, Bruce Smith or J.J Watt like numbers in every aspect of the game? You don't need to be seeking to be paid like the numero uno at your position.
