NFL Offseason - The first splashy Las Vegas Raiders acquisition of 2022 NFL free agency was a very splashy Raiders kind of acquisition: the team is signing former Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots edge rusher Chandler Jones, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero. Initial reports claim the deal will be worth $17 million per year.
In a related move, the Raiders will trade edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue to the Indianapolis Colts for cornerback Rock Ya-Sin in what is being reported as a straight-up player-for-player deal.
Jones, a 32-year old two-time All-Pro, recorded 10.5 sacks last season: five in the opener against the Tennessee Titans and 5.
