I had this thought on the way in to work today. It's probably good that I don't know who these guys are that the Giants signed yesterday, generally speaking.
I knew who S*ld*r and G*llad*y were, of course. If the guy is already a name, and the team who already had him doesn't want to pay him, then there's probably something wrong. Plus, you're paying for past performance.
Thoughts?
That being said, I'm not really too sure on him given his skillset; he's primarily a run stuffer and inside pass-rush is still a need if Leonard Williams isn't on the field.
The Colts are in a tough spot cap wise plus they already paid Darius Leonard so they couldn’t afford to spend big on another LB.
I think both are solid signings which is all I ask for. Okereke will start for us right away. All-Pro? Not at all, but he'll fill a major role in our defense at a level much higher than our players last year could.
Nunez-Roches was signed to be a high end back up or rotational player, his contract reflects that and he's very good in that role.
Even with both of these guys being added, I still expect another DL and LB coming via draft or free agency.

I agree with the pass rusher from the interior. I think a bigger DE is going to be in the cards in round 1 who can shift to the interior for pass rush.
This. Signing good players over 30 is a risk. It's funny. People blah and blah about analytic and how they are a must. Remember all the angst that DG refused to use analytics. Well analytics say don't sign or trade for older players but contracts
Okereke is the type of signing that this team god away from. Not an over pay and not a cap buste and a younger guy in his second deal whom the Colts couldn't afford. Win win for the player and the Giants.

"Nacho" is here to give Dex a break without the run D suffering as much as it did last year. He'll probably play around 30% of the defensive snaps, none on obvious passing downs.
I still hope the Giants sign a UFA DE to pair with LW. GoDeep13 mentioned interest in A'Shawn Robinson, which would please me greatly, as would Rasheem Green.

Would love if it’s van ness or K white. Way too much fall off when reserves came in.
I love if we can come at you in waves. All for a line that’s 6-7 deep
I have some home that Davidson can give some good run stuffer snaps
