The NY Jets have missed out on their opportunity to trade for star pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue.

The NY Jets‘ pursuit of Yannick Ngakoue ended on Sunday when the star pass-rusher was traded to the Minnesota Vikings after months of contract disputes with his now-former team.

And while it remains unclear just how serious the team’s interest in him was, there certainly were plenty of rumors about a possible Jets/Ngakoue pairing.

Rumors swirled throughout the offseason that the Jets were one of the teams monitoring Ngakoue’s situation and that they had checked in on a possible trade.
