Just before the start of the season, the Vikings thought they could be a big time pass rusher away from the Super Bowl argument, and so they acquired Yannick Nagakui from the Jaguars. It didn’t work.

Now Nagakui is on the move again, trading from the Vikings to Ravens.

The Ravens are sending the Vikings to Nagakoi for the third round pick of 2021 and the conditional fifth round pick of conditional 2022, according to Adam Shafter of EVPN.

That means the Vikings have gotten back to the comparison they made for Angacoi: Minnesota sent the 2021 second-round pick and the 2022 conditional fifth round pick to the Jaguars to achieve it.

Nagaku has kept five sacks in six games, so this is not the point of not playing him well. The Vikings ’lack of good management is more of an issue, and now decides they’ll get something back for Nagakui instead. Ravens is a contender for the Super Bowl and seems to be worth it.
