Jacksonville has agreed to trade defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to Minnesota for a second- and conditional fifth-round pick that could go as high as a third-round pick, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
“Ngakoue still has to sign his tender, but trade is in place and Ngakoue is expected to be a Viking,” Schefter said on Twitter.
Before this, Everson Griffen’s old starting spot was likely going to be filled by players such as Ifeadi Odenigbo and Jalyn Holmes.
Ngakoue is coming off a 2019 season where he had eight sacks. He made the Pro Bowl in 2017 when he had 12 sacks and 23 QB hits that season
