Absolutely. And with a relatively manageable cap hit for this season as well. He's a pending FA, but for a 5th or so, you'd get a really nice short-term boost from him.
He's not the guy he was when he was an elite player with Jacksonville, but he's a good situational guy.
Give him Clark's snaps and you're cooking with gas, IMO. A Karlaftis/Dunlap rotation alongside Danna/Ngakoue may be really productive. [Reply]

So they accelerate a bit to this year, but it's an amount already included in their pool. The remainder hits on next year's cap, IIRC.
Ah yes, it very well may. I think there was something new in the CBA on that when they redid it now that you mention it given its' a post-June 1 trade. [Reply]

They're gonna have to do something I think. They can't just live blitzing, they need another guy in there. [Reply]

Ngakoue is who I have circled if I'm Veach/the Chiefs.
I don't think there's a better combination of plug/play impact and affordability out there. He also would give KC a really nice speed rush option. [Reply]

He’s a FA next year. Would love to get him on a 2 or 3 year manageable deal.
Gotta give props to Ballard. Getting both Ngakoue and Gilmore for roughly $20 million this year was a good move.
