The Minnesota Vikings have agreed a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue. That goes out of one ESPNReport. Only one small thing is still missing to complete the deal.
The long theater has now come to an end: Ngakoue gets his wish to leave the Jaguars granted. In return, the Jaguars receive a second and a conditional five-round draft pick from the Vikings, as Adam Schefter reports.
To complete the deal, Ngakoue still has to sign his franchise tender, through which the Jaguars kept him for another season. However, this is regarded as a pure formality.
Ngakoue succeeds Everson Griffen in the Vikings’ defensive line. The Vikings let the veteran go. By the way, he has since signed with the Dallas Cowboys.
Ngakoue, who will earn $ 17.788 million in the upcoming season through the franchise day, was the Jaguars’ third-round pick in the 2016 draft and has played his entire career so far in Florida. In 63 games he came to 37.5 sacks and was considered one of the better pass-rusher on the trade market.
