Yannick Ngakoue Rumors: Raiders Nearing Contract with Former Ravens DE in FA

Yannick Ngakoue will look for a fresh start, as the free-agent pass-rusher is reportedly "close to a deal" with the Las Vegas Raiders.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the news Monday.

It was a whirlwind 2020 for the one-time Pro Bowler, who received a franchise tag with the Jacksonville Jaguars but couldn't sign a long-term deal. He initially held out before rejoining the team for training camp, finally getting his wish with a trade to the Minnesota Vikings in August.

However, Ngakouelasted just six games in Minnesota before he was traded again to the Baltimore Ravens.
