The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to end another disappointing season against the Indianapolis Colts. To add to the pain missing out on playoff football, the Jaguars may even lose Yannick Ngakoue after sharing an interesting conversation with Jalen Ramsey.
He published a photo of himself on Instagram, thanking the Lord for another season of productive football for him. However, there was a subliminal message included in his post that made fans think.
To make matters worse for Jacksonville fans, a former player in Ramsey added fuel to the fire by asking something everyone wanted to ask the defensive end.
Jaguar Maven's John Shipley posted a screenshot of their conversation. To add to the banter the two players had, Shipley added a photo of Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight.

It will be a huge blow to the Jaguars' defense if Shipley will walk away from the team in the offseason. He's one of their leading defenders this season with 40 tackles, 8.0 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one interception. He is one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing Jaguars roster.
If he does walk, the Jaguars will have to find a replacement through free agency or the draft. Getting free agents through the door will be a difficult proposition as their reputation is tarnished due to the ridiculous fines they slapped to players over the past couple of seasons. Moreover, their mismanagement of talented players like Ramsey doesn't make Jacksonville a huge destination for free agents who want to win.
If they do decide to go through the draft, it will be tough on them as well. The draft is an art as much as it is a science, and players don't always turn out to be the stars that they were predicted to become. Moreover, the replacement they would draft may well be a multi-year project.
The Jaguars will be in a tough spot if Ngakoue packs up. Fans will hope that a major miracle will keep him in the franchise.
