In my estimation, he'd barely get on the field so the compensation would have to be commensurate of that. Walker and Allen are 3 down pash rushing ends. You could kick Walker in occasionally on 3rd downs as has been discussed ad nauseam and then bring Yan in on 3rd and longs. Yan wouldn't be spelling either guy on earlier downs because he's always been a liability against the run.

In the end, I don't think he solves the biggest problem at the position which is having a 3rd guy to sufficiently spell Walker and Allen that isn't a liability against the run, so I doubt we have much interest. Hopefully Gipson or Cole surprises as pass rushers with the help we brought in in the middle this offseason. Their bigger bodies are better suited to spell Walker and/or Allen.

The other thing is Ngakoue hasn't caught on anywhere for more than a year after leaving here. Is it that he is such a liability in the run game or is it because he doesn't ingratiate himself with the people in the building or might it be both?
