It appears as if the Jacksonville Jaguars put defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue on the trade block before the Oct. 29 deadline, yet were unable to move him.

As such, it appears as if the Jags won’t be re-signing him this offseason, letting him hit free agency and opening up the door for some help along the defensive line.

Grabbing Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown wouldn’t solve the edge-rushing duties. But Brown is arguably the best interior disruptor in this year’s draft class, which would add some serious bulk to a still-potent Jaguars front-seven defense.

Brown would help this unit get both younger and cheaper.
