Adam Schefter reports that the Ravens are signing veteran EDGE Yannick Ngakoue to a contract on Monday.
Ngakoue had previously drawn interest from the Panthers and Dolphins this offseason, but never signed with either team.
The Ravens could use some help at edge rusher and Ngakoue has been among the best available options for some time now.
Ngakoue, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2016 out of Maryland. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.48 million contract before the Jaguars used the franchise tag on him.
However, Ngakoue refused to play for the Jaguars in a contract dispute and they later traded him to the Vikings. He lasted just a few months in Minnesota before he was traded to the Ravens that same season.
As an unrestricted free agent in 2021, Ngakoue signed a two-year, $26 million deal with the Raiders. He was traded to the Colts after one year in exchange for CB Rock Ya-Sin.
Ngakoue signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with Chicago last August.
In 2023, Ngakoue appeared in 13 games and recorded 22 tackles, four sacks and six tackles for loss.
We had him included in our Top 100 Available Free Agents list.
