The Chicago Bears and free-agent defensive end Yannick Ngakoue agreed to a one-year, $10.5 million contract Thursday, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal includes $10 million in guaranteed money.
Ngakoue, 27, spent the 2022 season with the Indianapolis Colts. He recorded 29 tackles and 9.5 sacks, emerging as an effective edge rusher while playing for his fourth team in three seasons.
The Las Vegas Raiders traded Ngakoue to the Colts last March despite the 2017 Pro Bowler recording 10 sacks during the 2021 season.
"He's doing a good job," former Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley told reporters of Ngakoue last season.
