In a long-anticipated move, the Chicago Bears signed eight-year pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue to a 1-year contract worth $10.5M last night. Back in June, during OTAs, both Bears GM Ryan Poles and Head Coach Matt Eberflus had mentioned the need to add one more pass rusher to this Bears' defense. Ngakoue was the best pass rusher on the market, not just now but going back at least two months.
It did surprise me that Yannick got $10.5M with $10M of that guaranteed. Based on other signings around the League, I felt that his market would be in the eight to nine million range.
