The top available defensive free agent, DE Yannick Ngakoue, is signing a one-year, $10.5 million deal, including $10 million guaranteed with the Chicago Bears.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the deal Thursday night.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 4, 2023This should not necessarily come as a surprise to Colts fans, as it’s been a foregone conclusion that the team was moving on from the veteran pass rusher since Indy elected to sign former San Francisco 49ers edge Samson Ebukam to a multi-year deal as Ngakoue’s replacement at starting defensive end.
