Bobby Okereke

Saw an article suggesting he might be a good candidate for NYG ILB. Makes sense to me - an upgrade that won't break the bank.
We got a good look at him

He had 17 tackles against us
Is he the guy DJ

Kept just getting by to score ?

And I think he had a couple of questionable hits on DJ?
The Hit Wasn't Questionable

It was a personal foul (elbow to the helmet). Jones gave him a look.

Yes
If he is indeed cheap

than yes. But he has been getting at lot of love and might not be as cheap as Spotrac thinks.

But if Spotrac is correct in their estimate of 2.3M then I'd be all over that. Sign me up for that.

However, I think PFF is more in line with what he will get...

49. LB Bobby Okereke, Indianapolis Colts

Contract Projection: Three years, $25.5 million ($8.5M per year); $15.75 million total guaranteed

That seems pretty accurate to me, but what do I know, and if Wink likes him enough to sign him to that, I would be excited.

And didn’t we just see LB tags at $18M, making the 3/$25M more realistic?

Be a fantastic addition
FWIW

He has been the #1 guy on my list if the Giants go the free agent route to address the position. In the emotional moment, I hated the elbow he threw at DJ. However his sideline to sideline speed, his tackling ability, age and his availability (has missed 2 games in 4 seasons) would make him an awesome addition to this defense. If Wink gets the Colts job, I would expect him to make a big push to keep him on the Colts for these reasons. If not, he would look awesome in NYG blue.
