Despite the rumors, sources say the Jets aren't going to trade a premium asset and pay defensive end Yannick Ngakoue a $17.9 million salary in 2020 -- the amount of his unsigned franchise tender with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It wouldn't make any sense for a potential one-year rental.
Me? I'd consider it if Jacksonville pays a chunk of his salary and deals him for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 fifth-rounder -- i.e. the Leonard Williams deal. But if you're going down that road, the better option would be Jadeveon Clowney. Because he's a free agent, it would be straight money, no trade compensation.
In case you're wondering, I don't think the Jets are interested in Clowney, either.

Jets might have found Jamal Adams' replacement ... right under their nose
Marcus Maye, the Jets' 2017 second-round pick, has been impressive in early training camp practices, showing he can be more than a deep safety.
