Good signing

 

[Unholy Diver]

Wonder what took so long for him to sign, was he asking for too much money? Or is there another reason he is joining his 6th team in the last 5 years?

When he was in Minnesota, they started poorly so they moved him after having just traded for him.

He’s only really a specialized and scheme-fit pass rusher, so teams aren’t keen to sign you to big money when you only do one thing and you’re only pretty good, but that one thing is valuable and he is athletic. He won’t run stop or drop into coverage, but he can be schemed to get to the QB. They should be reducing his snap count, though.

Bears have no pass rush so adding him is major improvement

He isn't great player but if he can get pressure on QB and some sacks that fills need

Bears pass rush was atrocious last season

Solid signing for both ends, nice dollar amount of Ngakoue, nice roster addition for da Bears.
