Ngakoue starts Twitter battle with Jaguars co-owner: 'Stop hiding'
Yannick Ngakoue's beef with the Jacksonville Jaguars reached new heights Monday when the star pass-rusher got into a heated Twitter exchange with Jaguars co-owner Tony Khan.
Ngakoue initially reiterated his desire to be moved before calling out Khan over the team not yet trading him.
Tired of the back and forth @Jaguars. Let’s get this shit done.

"Since (you're) feeling might today let's both let the world in on the truth," Ngakoue wrote after Khan responded to his tweet tagging Ngakoue's account. "We been had a discussion that the (Los Angeles) Chargers game was my last game. Yet you try to backdoor the situation without answering any of my camp's calls. Smh you spoiled bra ... holding up people for no reason."
The Chargers topped the Jaguars in a Week 14 matchup this past season.
Khan then attempted to calm the waters before suggesting Ngakoue was only hurting his own hopes for a trade.
It’s a new regime here sir. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the contributions you made here. That said, tweeting insults at me won’t get you traded any faster. Only good trade compensation will do that. Please redirect your efforts into a more productive outlet

Show me the compensation. I’m sure you’re really driving up the price today btw.

The 25-year-old reiterated last week he isn't interested in signing a long-term deal with the Jaguars, who used the franchise tag to prevent him from hitting free agency.
Ngakoue previously stated he wants to play where "winning is a habit."
