The New York Giants have begun upgrading the defense, starting with former Los Angeles Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree. General manager Dave Gettleman is setting the tone early in free agency by trading for the former Ram.
The Giants gave their compensatory fourth-round pick and a sixth-rounder for Ogletree, who also came with a 2019 seventh-rounder. It seems as if the Rams were willing to part ways with the linebacker to ensure they could resign defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
What type of player is Ogletree?
The Giants are receiving a physical player in Ogletree, who can be used off the edge and on blitzing plays.
