Sources: Giants to sign LB Okereke to 4-year, $40 million deal

The New York Giants will sign free agent linebacker Bobby Okereke to a four-year, $40 million contract, with $22 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Jordan Raanan and Adam Schefter on Monday night.

Okereke, 26, thrived in the Indianapolis Colts' new defensive scheme in 2022, posting a career-high 151 tackles, including 99 solo stops.

The Chicago Bears also made a run at Okereke earlier Monday, the day the NFL's free agent negotiating period opened. But they ended up reaching agreements with Tremaine Edmunds and TJ Edwards, leaving Okereke available for the linebacker-needy Giants.
