They offered Ngakoue a number commensurate with his pressures and sacks production at that time in the league. It was a little high because they wouldn’t leave him on the field in run looks as often as his peers making similar salaries, but they had the horses to fill run packages without him. It really didn’t matter. 

The actual problem was that they had already enraged the guy by not coming to the table initially, and then coming with lowball offers which pissed him off.
By the time they made him the supposed big offer (reportedly) he was already done and committed to trying his luck elsewhere. 

He was dumb not to take the money, but we have sorely missed his pass rush and Ramsey’s coverage. Thinking otherwise is just as dumb as Ngakoue turning down good money to stay with the Jags.
