DE Ngakoue Headed to Bears – Free agent defensive end Yannick Ngakoue is signing a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the Chicago Bears that includes $10 million in guaranteed money, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Bears will be Ngakoue’s fifth team since the start of the 2020 season. The pass-rusher has posted at least eight sacks in every season of his seven-year NFL career and is coming off a 9.5-sack season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. Ngakoue, 28, spent the first four years of his career with Jacksonville before the Jaguars placed the franchise tag on him during the 2020 offseason. He was traded from Jacksonville to Minnesota in August 2020, then played six games before being sent to Baltimore ahead of the trade deadline. Despite one-year stints in Las Vegas and Indianapolis in 2021 and 2022, Ngakoue’s production has not dipped.
