Raiders Considering A Trade For Yannick Ngakoue
5 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders are kicking the tires on trading for Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, but the two sides are not close to a deal. It's not believed that the two sides have discussed compensation at all, and Ngakoue would have to sign the franchise tender that the Jaguars placed on him in March first. It's definitely something to monitor as Round 1 of the NFL draft quickly approaches on Thursday night. Las Vegas has multiple picks in the first round, so this is something that could happen, but the Raiders would also have to sign Ngakoue to a massive extension upon completion of a trade. It's no sure thing, but it's something to watch in the next day or so. Ngakoue has 37.5 sacks in his four seasons and would give the Raiders a serious pass-rushing threat.
