The Las Vegas Raiders made a big splash on defense ahead of NFL free agency Monday, and could be in range to pluck Penn State Football’s Micah Parsons during the 2021 NFL Draft.
Entering the offseason in dire need of pass-rush help, the Raiders agreed to terms with veteran edge-rusher Yannick Ngakoue Monday, the first day of the NFL’s negotiating window prior to free agency opening on Wednesday.
Last season, the Raiders produced just 21 sacks, fourth-fewest in the NFL, and generated pressure on only 23.
