Ngakoue has worn his welcome out with 5 of the 32 teams which limits his options. He has not played a full season 3 of the last 4 years. I could see him being a role player for us but he would need to really humble himself and play at a pretty large discount.  The key phrase is "does he fit our vision and culture of the team going forward" Also, I have tough time thinking our ownership really wants to have round two of the ugliness the last time he was here.
