Can we go back in time and get him in 2017?

Heck, why not go back to 2014 and bring back Mario Williams and his 14.5 sacks?

7th team to let him go in 5 years. Reason? He is a low effort liability if you ask him to do anything other than just pin his ears back every play. 

 

Hideously overrated.

Quick review of his sack totals above... I think he has more sacks in the last 5 years than anyone the Bills have had since Hughes.  Would have been nice to have that overrated production several years ago. 

Now he is toast.

the name we've seen posted here every year for the past 10 years. I think I'd be good with Beane signing him if for only it would mean this topic of adding him would never come up again in the future

In exchange for that production you get multiple plays given up because he plays for himself not the team. Massively overrated.

Patriots got him.

PFT: "The Patriots claimed Ngakoue on waivers, after he was waived by the Ravens.

Baltimore signed him to the active roster on October 15, after signing him to the practice squad on September 23. Before that, he was free to sign with any team, at any time.

If the Ravens had released Ngakoue before the trade deadline, he would have been a free agent all over again. After the trade deadline, all players who are cut — regardless of experience — must go through waivers. And they must go to the team that claims them (if they want to keep playing).

It’s unclear why the Ravens didn’t cut him before the deadline. He would have been entitled to termination pay, if the Ravens had simply cut him. By waiving him, the Patriots assumed responsibility for the balance of his prorated contract for the veteran minimum of $1.21 million.

The Patriots become Ngakoue’s seventh NFL team. The 2016 fourth-round pick played for the Jaguars, Vikings, Raiders, Colts, and Bears. He now has two stints in Baltimore."

6 teams in 5 years.
