This logic completely escapes me.

I don't want to belabor the point; it's just a thought.  And you make a very good point.  

But an analogy would be if you are a car company and you make a great car at a great price and you can't sell it.  Do you blame the consumer?  Or are you simply doing a poor job selling this great product?  Likewise, if we offer him a wonderful deal and he won't take it, I still have to wonder why are we having a hard time getting him to take this great deal.  It's a head-scratcher.  

But you're probably right.

The initial deal (under Coughlin) was rumored to be decent number but not-so-decent terms.  
So - given we don't know the actual offer - Ngakoue deserves the benefit of the doubt on wanting to continue bargaining at that point. So - yeah - I kind-of do blame the Jags org on that one, HB. 

Now - since Caldwell came out and said "this is priority one in our offseason" it stands to reason that a better offer is on the table.  Why Ngakoue is seemingly dead set against signing that one is indeed a head-scratcher. Can't blame the Jags here and it's anyone's guess how Yannick actually handles this. 
My coffee is kicking in maybe I'll start a poll.
