Source: Giants to sign LB Okereke to 4-year, $40 million deal

The New York Giants will sign free agent linebacker Bobby Okereke to a four-year, $40 million contract, with $22 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday night.

Okereke, 26, thrived in the Indianapolis Colts' new defensive scheme in 2022, posting a career-high 151 tackles, including 99 solo stops.

As a sideline-to-sideline force, Okereke exceled in both run and pass coverage for Indianapolis. He also has shown some versatility, playing both the MIKE linebacker position as well as the WILL position for the Colts during his career.

A 2019 third-round pick from Stanford, Okereke has started 49 games for the Colts.
