He's playing great football for the Raiders.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Yannick has always been very good at getting to the QB we just have jilted fanatics who were trying to cope with losing him.

But also not good enough to stay on any team long term. He's a good niche player (and who can't use 8 to 10 sacks a year?), but he's not as good as he thinks he is, and that's why he hasn't found a home.

I don't remember 1 person on here saying he wasn't good at getting to the QB.  He's a liability against the run.  If he was a great player don't you think the Vikings would of kept him after giving up a pick.  Bal. didn't keep him either

Both teams are very cap strapped teams who got Yannick for super bowl runs, the former had to trade him because Hunter immediately got hurt and their season was essentially over. Either of them would have liked to keep him if the situation was different.

At the end of the day Yannick cost himself a lot of money by not taking the deal here. Was a shame all around. His agent clearly didn't help him out. I doubt some of the existing cast of players we had at the time didn't help either. He got a lot of bad advice and made a poor business decision.

Lmao, says the guy who always a team can always make salary cap room for a player if they want to, salary cap hell is fiction bla bla bla lol.  Both teams could of kept him if they wanted but they realized he wasn't worth his salary. He also wasn't worth what he was asking for here and he cost himself a ton of money, he wasn't very smart. He overvalued himself and realized it later on, the reason he fired his agent.

Yes he did, horrible.  You know he looks back on all the money he lost and regrets it.
