Star defensive end Yannick Ngakoue is fed up. The Jacksonville Jaguars pass-rusher has now taken to Twitter to voice his frustrations with his team.
Tired of the back and forth @Jaguars. Let’s get this shit done.

Trade rumors regarding Ngakoue have been swirling for the majority of the offseason, and the former Pro Bowler is obviously ready for a fresh start somewhere else with a new team.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the team is also shopping franchise running back Leonard Fournette but when it comes to Ngakoue, the team has held trade talks but no official offers have been made as many teams believe Jacksonville's price to be too high.
With the 2020 NFL Draft set to start Thursday, time may be running out for the Jaguars to find a suitable trade for their disgruntled star.
Ngakoue has become a standout player for Jacksonville since being drafted in the third round of the 2016 draft out of Maryland. The 6-foot-2, 246-pound pass-rusher made the Pro Bowl in just his second year after recording 12 sacks and a league-high six forced fumbles.
In 2019, the 25-year-old recorded a career-best 41 total tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, six passes defended and four forced fumbles.
Under the leadership of Ngakoue and rookie Josh Allen, the Jaguars would finish the 2019 season with 47 total sacks — the seventh-best mark in the NFL.
However, despite the strong sack production, Jacksonville allowed 24.8 points per game which put them at No. 21 in the league in points allowed. The Jaguars especially struggled to stop the run, ranking 28th in the NFL in rush defense, and would finish the season with a record of 6-10
