If neither side is holding a grudge, I would like to see Ngakoue back.  He has been in the league for 7 years and he has had 8 or more sacks in every single season.  He's coming off a 9.5 sack season and had 10 sacks the season prior.  He's only 28, so he's not over the hill.  The knock on him is that he isn't good against the run, but I think we have some good personnel for obvious running situations.  We can use Ngakoue in obvious passing situations.  The Jaguars were ranked in the bottom 5 in pass defense last year and lost five games simply because they couldn't hold a lead in the 4th quarter.  Ngakoue would be a huge help to this team.

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.
