Okereke Lands With Panthers | Carolina Panthers News

Bobby Okereke, the veteran linebacker released by the Giants in March, has landed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers — a move that signals the Panthers’ urgent need for linebacker depth. After being a salary-cap casualty for New York, Okereke brings leadership, experience, and proven playmaking ability, including interceptions and fumble recoveries down the stretch last season. With key players sidelined due to preseason injuries and starters Trevin Wallace and Claudin Cherelus still competing for roles, Okereke’s arrival could be exactly what Carolina needs. His quick adaptability and strong character make him a smart addition — especially since the Panthers signed another former Giant, Darren Waller, earlier this offseason. This early signing also hints at how desperate Carolina is to shore up their defense before Week One. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
