The Indianapolis Colts made their first big splash of the new league year on Wednesday when they traded cornerback Rock Ya-Sin straight up for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.
Losing Ya-Sin was a tough blow to a secondary that is already thin, but adding Ngakoue was a move that needed to be made. The Colts haven’t had a strong presence on the edge consistently since Chris Ballard took over as general manager in 2017.
This trade makes a massive difference on the outlook of the pass rush for the Colts, which was one of their biggest needs entering the offseason.
