Can veteran defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi bolster the Giants’ depth issues up front?
The New York Giants have depth issues along their defensive front. Dexter Lawrence had a supernova type of 2022 season that solidified him as a top defensive lineman in the league. Leonard Williams was dinged up for most of the year and is set to count for $32 million against the cap; one would imagine that will be negotiated in some manner.
A tandem of Lawrence and Williams is more than formidable, but the depth behind the two is troublesome. Jihad Ward, Nick Williams, and Justin Ellis are all free agents. Ward was predominantly an edge defender for the Giants, and Williams landed on IR with a pectoral injury after the Seattle loss.
