As expected, the New York Giants are revamping the defense this season. In the first move of the offseason, linebackers Alec Ogletree and Kareem Martin have been released per Giants.com.
Both Ogletree and Martin joined the Giants in 2018 and failed to become the reliable veterans the team believed they had acquired.
Ogletree was picked up in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams for a fourth and sixth-round draft pick in March of 2018. He was the Giants defensive captain in each of his two years with the team. As a Giant, Ogletree made 172 total tackles and in 2018, tied the team record for interceptions in a single season by a linebacker with five.
