Yannick Traded to Ravens - 3rd & Conditional 5th

[Sid Hartman]

RT @AdamSchefter: Vikings and Ravens finalizing a trade to send DE Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Vikings initially sent 2021 second-round pick and 2022 conditional fifth-round pick to Jags. Now get most back.

Even reporting from the afterlife, you're still the first.
Impressive.

[Da Gas Man]

So we gave up what will be a high second (although that wasn't the plan when we did it) for a low third. Great job Rick.

And before people say that the Vikings expected to be better, Rick surely knew that Hunter's season was in doubt. He also knew that Pierce was out. He knew they had rookie corners. Rick knew that this year's second round pick was going to be in the top part of the second round. Or he should have.

I hope this is the start of a major house-cleaning. For that, I would give Rick credit.

[Oriole81]

Don't like it, but clearly they were intent on doing something.
That 2022 pick better be lightly protected, and have potential to easily get to a 3rd considering how good Baltimore should be as a team.

This is Top 5 GM magic right here!

Surprised he couldn’t get them to toss in a 7th to be able to say he won the trade

[Beef Supreme]

Don’t like it either, but I do like it as a symbol of the white flag being raised on the season.


I will still root for their success on game days. I can’t root for guys to miss tackles and drop passes. But losing is better than winning right now for the long term.


I expect to see vets time on the field to start being reduced and kids time increased.

I'd rather just keep him and try to extend him. On the other hand, hopefully this is the start to cleaning house.

I hope what you say is true. Clean house and play the young guys. I'll believe it when I see it. I hope to see it.

RT @AlbertBreer: The Ravens are sending a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional fifth-rounder in 2022 to Minnesota for Ngakoue. The condition: If Ngaukoe is a first-ballot Pro Bowler, the 2022 pick becomes a fourth-rounder.

(The Vikings, in essence, flipped a 2 for a 3 to take a shot on YN.)

It’s too bad. I liked what I saw from him. He’s a little “boom/bust” on the field, but that’s okay.

Maybe they really like what they’re seeing from Odinegbo and maybe hunter is close to returning? I could be reading this whole situation wrong.

High second for a late third.

[Sid Hartman]

RT @spotrac: The #Vikings will take on a $6.8M dead cap hit for 6 weeks of Yannick Ngakoue, who brings a $5.17M salary with him to the #Ravens.

They should trade Anthony Harris now. Or listen on calls for Harrison Smith....... and Rudolph.

[Dr. Linux]

I was pretty excited to get him just for something new but was still on the fence about his overall impact. Giving up this early means you fucked up in the first place.

Yep.

I stopped posting in here after the Cousin's extension (except once a week ago) because I saw the writing on the wall...how didn't Rick?

[Sid Hartman]

Alright next to go...who you got?

Riley Reiff
Anthony Harris
Harrison Smith
Kyle Rudolph
Adam Thielen
Other

You know Rick would give about anything to get a 2 back to save some face

[Chuck North]

Five sacks in six games.

You guys are like the keystone cops of the NFL.

Spoiler:

[Philo Beddoe]

I was not impressed with Yannick. Fuck him.

Someone is going to overpay the fuck out of him next year, glad its not us.

I don't think we could afford to bring back both Yannick and Odenigbo, but Odenigbo is going to be easier to re-sign long term. Not sure if that's better exactly, but is what it is.
Wonnum blowing up next year would help things alot though.

Wonnum has shown up a little lately. I don’t know if he has a sack yet, but it seems like he’s been around the ball.

Dont forget it helps with the tank. He was starting to get sacks

[D_H]

Good

Trade Adam T now too

[Sid Hartman]

So in the end Rick gets his 3rd this year rather than next year as we could have let him walk for a 3rd rd comp pick next year

[jffl_commish]

I'm fine with moving him since they weren't going to resign him, and they suck really bad and this helps tank. However, they end up dropping nearly two full rounds in the draft for 6 games, and yet Spielman still somehow has a job.

[D_H]

This

Better not win another game!!

Tank for Trevor!!!

[Philo Beddoe]

Does this mean we can use his salary to sign Kaepernick?

[Beef Supreme]

So in the end Rick gets his 3rd this year rather than next year as we could have let him walk for a 3rd rd comp pick next year

And even though the ravens are good, it will be a higher pick than a comp pick would be.


Plus the 5. Not nothing.


I’d rather have a 2, so overall this is a bust. But not one of epic proportions.
