The contract can't become official until Wednesday when the new league year begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 17.
Ngakoue is the second former Ravens pass rusher to depart from Baltimore, as Matthew Judon reportedly agreed to a four-year, $56 million deal with the New England Patriots earlier on Monday.
The news doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Baltimore was not expected to retain either Ngakoue or Judon.
In nine games with Baltimore, Ngakoue finished with just 11 tackles and three sacks. Now, he'll help turn around a pass rush unit in Las Vegas that largely underachieved in 2020.
