Patriots Waiving OLB Yannick Ngakoue
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Patriots are waiving OLB Yannick Ngakoue.
Ngakoue, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2016 out of Maryland. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.48 million contract before the Jaguars used the franchise tag on him.
However, Ngakoue refused to play for the Jaguars in a contract dispute and they later traded him to the Vikings. He lasted just a few months in Minnesota before he was traded to the Ravens that same season.
As an unrestricted free agent in 2021, Ngakoue signed a two-year, $26 million deal with the Raiders. He was traded to the Colts after one year in exchange for CB Rock Ya-Sin.
Ngakoue signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with Chicago last August. He returned to the Ravens in September and signed to the active roster in October. Baltimore put Ngakoue on waivers in November when New England claimed him.
In 2024, Ngakoue has appeared in five games for the Ravens and six games for the Patriots and recorded 14 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.

The New England Patriots have made the tough decision to waive outside linebacker Yannick Ngakoue. Ngakoue was acquired by the Patriots in a trade earlier this season, but unfortunately, he has not lived up to expectations on the field.
Despite his talent and potential, Ngakoue has struggled to make an impact in New England’s defense. The Patriots have decided to part ways with the veteran linebacker in order to make room for other players who can contribute more effectively.
It’s always tough to see a player released, especially one with Ngakoue’s caliber, but the Patriots are clearly focused on making the necessary changes to improve the team’s performance. We wish Ngakoue all the best in his future endeavors and hope he lands on his feet with another team in the NFL.
