Sep 3, 2021 9:10 AM

Yannick Ngakoue has restructured his contract with the Las Vegas Raiders before even playing a game with the team.

Ngakoue signed a two-year deal with the Raiders in March.

The Raiders have converted $12 million of the edge rusher's salary for this season into a signing bonus, according to a report. They also added three void years to the end of the pact in order to spread out the remaining cap hit.

The move created $9.6 million in cap space for the team to use during the 2021 season.

Mike Mayock: Raiders 'Need To Be A Playoff Team'

Sep 2, 2021 8:41 AM

Mike Mayock has set a goal of making the playoffs for the Las Vegas Raiders this season.

"Jon [Gruden] and I will both tell you that we feel like we need to be a playoff team this year, and I don't think there's any doubt about that," Mayock said. "You guys are all going to put that in your headlines, and I understand it, but that's what the expectation is. We think we've done the infrastructure work necessary to put us in position, and we've got to take care of business."

The Raiders have gone 7-9 and 8-8 in the last two seasons.

Mark Davis was unmoved by Mayock's viewpoint.

"It's always nice to hear somebody say that," Davis said, "but let's go out and do it. I'd be much more impressed if they did it."
