Giants Trade for Okoye, Missed Dexter | New York Giants News

The Giants pulled off a savvy move, landing 24-year-old defensive tackle CJ Okoye from Baltimore after briefly eyeing Gervon Dexter—now headed to Atlanta.

Okoye, a massive 6’6”, 365-pound rookie with international roots, offers raw potential to dominate the middle against the run. He joins a revamped defensive line that lost Dexter Lawrence but added DJ Reader, Shelby Harris, and drafted Bobby Jamison-Travis—plus Darius Alexander looking to rebound. Sometimes, the league just moves fast—and the Giants moved smart. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
