The Raiders made their first big splash in free agency on Monday as they signed pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue to a two-year, $26 million contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Las Vegas will mark Ngakoue's fourth team in the last three seasons. He played four seasons with the Jaguars from 2016-19 before playing for both the Vikings and Jaguars last season. Ngakoue tallied eight sacks and four forced fumbles in 15 games in 2020.
Ngakoue could make a major difference for a Raiders defense that struggled to rush the passer last season. Las Vegas finished the year ranked No.
