The Las Vegas Raiders have beefed up their defensive line with the addition of Yannick Ngakoue, who joined the team on a two-year, $26 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The 25-year-old starred despite a lack of stability in 2020, as he was hit with a franchise tag by the Jacksonville Jaguars and then traded to the Minnesota Vikings and the Baltimore Ravens.
His presence will be a major boost for a Raiders defense that struggled through 2020. Here's a look at what the defensive unit could look like, both physically and financially, with his addition:
