Giants Release LB Bobby Okereke to Save Cap Space

March 4, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The New York Giants are releasing linebacker Bobby Okereke to free up $9 million in salary cap space ahead of the new league year.

Okereke, who led the team with 78 tackles last season, was set to carry a $14.5 million cap hit. With new head coach John Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson taking over, the team plans to overhaul the position. The move comes as the Giants look to clear room for free agency and address defensive needs with the fifth overall pick in the draft.
