Vikings reportedly trade for Jaguars' franchised pass rusher, Yannick Ngakoue

Who needs coffee? Early Sunday morning, the Minnesota Vikings got the day off to a piping-hot start with a huge trade.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Vikings will acquire franchise-tagged pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue from the Jacksonville Jaguars for multiple draft picks.

Jaguars agreed to trade franchise DE Yannick Ngakoue to Minnesota for a second- and conditional fifth-round pick that could go as high a third-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Ngakoue still has to sign his tender, but trade is in place and Ngakoue is expected to be a Viking.
