The Giants are reportedly poised to add one of the premier tacklers in the NFL after agreeing to terms on a contract with free agent and former Colts standout linebacker Bobby Okereke on Monday.
New York and Okereke, 26, reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year, $40 million contract that will include $22 million in guaranteed money, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The lucrative deal is expected to become official when the new league year begins on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
A mainstay in the Colts’ starting lineup since 2021, Okereke has racked up an incredible 283 tackles in his two seasons as a starter. The ’22 campaign proved to be the best of Okereke’s young career, as the ’19 third-round pick ranked 10th in the NFL with a career-high 151 tackles (six for loss) to go with five pass deflections, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 starts.
