He has been with 5 teams in his 6 year career but 3 has been with Bradley so Bradley must love him. He was going to Bradley last year no matter what. Ngakoue has only missed 2 games in 6 years, availability has been an issue with us. Ten sacks and 23 QB hits is so much better than our ends last year. Nice move.
I love the move, checks a box and makes the team better.

it is kind of odd that he has bounced around, but the numbers seem to be there. also, raiders fans on reddit seem to like him and indicated he will be good for us. and apparently gus must really like him since this is the third time they will be together.

It seems he bounced around because he followed Bradley, who loves the dude.

Looking at the type of DEs Eberflus likes. Guys that can defend the run and pass, and given his emphasis on stopping the run. I think this is probably what happened. Ngakoue is a mediocre run defender at best. But Colt fans are used to pass rushers not good against the run. Also apparently Bradley went to bat for Yannick, saying he was a big reason they went to the playoffs and he was an active leader.

Also we assume he would pick Indy over Vegas. Vegas is a big draw for FAs.

Awesome story, thank's for sharing it. Pulling for this dude big time. I can't even imagine living how he had to as a young child. This is the kind of story that should be made into a movie, not the BS they are putting out now.

Great read. Loved the quotes re making the Raiders pay.
