The Atlanta Falcons could find a boost for their pass rush on the NFL waiver wire this week.
weren't able to upgrade their pass rush at the NFL trade deadline. But a potential upgrade could be available for the team on the league's waiver wire.Ravens are waiving DE Yannick Ngakoue, per source. The Ravens want to re-sign him to their practice squad should he clear waivers.Based on Schefter's report, the Ravens are going to try and sneak the veteran back into their organization on the practice squad. But that may not be very likely.
Ngakoue has continued to be a journeyman, playing for the Chicago Bears in 2023 and then the Ravens during the first half of this season. He hasn't made the same impact as previously. Ngakoue has 5.5 sacks in his past 18 games.Of course, his lack of playing time could be a red flag. As could be the lack of interest from several teams in keeping Ngakoue past more than a few years. The Ravens have now moved on from Ngakoue twice.
But the Falcons are last in the league with 9 sacks in nine games this season. As previously stated, the Falcons didn't improve their pass rush at the trade deadline. So, taking a run at Ngakoue is an interesting idea. He'd be cheap and the reward could be potentially significant. So, even if the Falcons are interested, it's very possible another team, even another playoff contender, could claim Ngakoue ahead of Atlanta.Dave is a staff writer at Falcon Report.
