w4rrior723 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ohhh I like this! Nice to have a good LB, especially for Bettchers system. EDIT: I didn't realize he was 2nd team All-Pro last year! Plus he's only 26 years old! He was also team Captain the last two years. This is a GREAT add for the defense. Especially since we only gave up a couple day 3 picks. Great work, Gettleman!

ny92mike Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Always been a fan of this linebacker. Solid trade. Nice to see the Giants front office addressing this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh I'm so happy I no longer have to see his face or hear his snippy attitude at the media when they confront him about how horrible his drafts were. I'm excited to see what this new Bettcher hybrid defense looks like! I expect it to take a least a couple weeks until they start to gel. But adding a leader like Olgetree is always a plus and should help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagh Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Wow.....we actually invested in a LB. I am actually speechless. Love this move. The salary concerns me though. I think you are going to see at least 1 DB cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Really interested to see Bettcher's defense come together. Lots of unknowns and moving pieces. The compensation is great on our end. The Rams obviously wanted to dump his salary and I can't imagine Gettleman and Abrams would go through with this if the latter didn't have a way to finagle and fit his contract into the budget. Good trade. Hopefully he and OBJ can make amends. Anyone else remember that brawl a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha that's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the move, too. I'm sure it's just water under the bridge now. Obj and Norman made amends. If those two could, then I'm sure he and Ogletree will be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyg856 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 For all those worried about the salary cap (and really don't understand it) #Giants will likely turn Ogletree's roster bonus into a signing bonus and instantly his 2018 cap number will be $4.75M. Just like that $5.25M saved vs. cap, pushed to future years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Reese traded for LBs twice. He netted Jon Beason and Keith Rivers. Alec Ogletree is obviously a very different player when acquired than those 2 were.

NVRamsFan Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Congrats on the trade, I think both fan bases are very happy. A question for you guys though. Did I see your DC is converting to a 3-4? If so have they said where he will play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
