The Indianapolis Colts agreed to trade for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Yannick Ngakoue on Wednesday. No contract extension is imminent, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.
This doesn’t mean a contract extension won’t get done, but it does mean that the Colts are currently on the hook for Ngakoue’s current contract. Turning 27 years old at the end of March, Ngakoue will be a free agent following the 2022 season.
So while it’s still possible the Colts give Ngakoue the DeForest Buckner treatment of acquire and extend, it doesn’t appear that’s imminent right now.
