Emmanue Ogbah or bring back Yannick Ngakoue? May 14, 2024 15:36:38 GMT -6

Both of these guys are reportedly DL players who could realistically be signed on a cap-friendly deal. Who would you rather see signed? Or is there a different player you'd like to see them signed - the key is "cap friendly" at this point. It looks like the Bears don't have a lot of free cap now, if you consider upcoming expenses and they'll want to carry a cushion for the season in case they have emergency needs.

Ngakoue has a year of familiarity with the scheme, is younger, and should be healed up from an ankle bone in time to play.

Ogbah has 35" long arms.

This one is a toss up. They could go either way, and I'd be okay with it.

Ogbah Ngakoue

Height          6' 4"            6' 2"
Weight            273 lbs         252 lbs
Arm Length       35 1/2"        32½"
Hand Size                10"          9½"
10 Yard Split         1.58s          1.64s
40 Yard Dash        4.63s          4.75s
Vertical Jump       35 1/2"       34½"
Broad Jump           121"          118"
3-Cone Drill           7.26s         7.35s
20 Yard Shuttle       4.5s          4.5s
Bench Press           20 reps       26 reps

Not so sure it's a toss up. Ogbah wins in every category except one, including the two most important ones - arm length and pool jumping. (I'm using vertical jump on land as an indicator of pool jumping until I can develop a proper conversion formula.) There's a 3 inch difference in wingspan - That's huge!

My only issue with Ogbah is it sounds too much like Oprah.
