Rock Ya-Sin Traded to Raiders for Yannick Ngakoue

[apballin]

Ngakwe has followed Bradley I’m guessing this is all Bradley

Great fucking move I’m ecstatic

I enjoyed seeing Rock turn a corner last year. In some ways that is what this is all about. He was challenged thoroughly and he overcame and I was genuinely proud of that kid.

I will be sad to see him go. I hope this works best for us..

I feel the same. I think on paper, we got the better player at the more important position. However, I've read from some Raiders writers/fans that bring up the scheme fit. Rock is better at man coverage, which they'll run more than us. And Ngakoue needs to be a 4-3 DE, not a 3-4 EDGE (which Chandler Jones is).

Overall they're pretty bummed to lose him but even more excited to have Chandler Jones.

This is probably what happened. Obviously Ballard's reputation as being a total cheap ass in FA preceded itself in a lot of our early reactions.

I like that trade and Bradley being the new DC is going to change some things. That's also why the new CB came here. I won't try to type his name yet.
