Yannick Ngakoue Chooses The Raiders
4 years agoFormer Pro Bowl pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue reached an agreement on a two-year, $26 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, according to sources. Ngakoue spent the 2020 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars on the franchise tag before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings and then the Baltimore Ravens. With the Vikings and Ravens in 15 games last season, he recorded eight sacks. The 25-year-old from Maryland will reunite with former Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley, who is the Raiders new defensive coordinator. Ngakoue had eight sacks, four forced fumbles and 23 tackles in his rookie year under Bradley in Jacksonville. In his only Pro Bowl appearance in his second season, Ngakoue had 12 sacks. With 45.5 sacks in his five-year career, he'll provide a much-need pass-rushing element to the Raiders defense.
