In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Rams have traded ILB Alec Ogletree to the New York Giants in exchange for two 2018 NFL Draft picks. Ogletree had spent his first five seasons with the Rams, and had signed a 4-year contract extension back in October. The move creates another hole on the defense, but increases cap space and draft capital.
Several players had reactions, mostly negative. It’s worth keeping in mind that Ogletree was a veteran presence and had been voted as a captain by his fellow players.
