I know you mentioned Ngakoue isn't good against the run, but he did just sign a 2 year, $26 mill deal back in 2021.
Like you said, 19.5 sacks the past two years, and he's only about to turn 28.
I think someone will end up paying $10+ mill APY for him, and it won't be the Bengals.
I get all that, except he is just a pass rush specialist. He doesn't really do anything great besides rush the passer. I don't think he would
be crazy expensive. Ngakoue is the pass rusher that we have been mentioned as a landing spot for. I don't see him getting 10+ million.
Around 7.5 mil a year at most. If someone wants to pay more than that for a specialist be my guest.
