New York Giants news, 11/14 – One linebacker the Giants can pursue next free agency

The New York Giants have been starting Casper the friendly ghost at linebacker for weeks now after rookie Ryan Connelly went down with an ACL tear. Both Alec Ogletree and David Mayo have been non-existent in most aspects, but playing in coverage has been the biggest concern.

Despite missing tackles in the run game, Ogletree is allowing quarterbacks to complete 90% of passes against him, earning a small portion of his $10 million salary. Ogletree continues to prove general manager Dave Gettleman’s inability to solve the position through free agency, but he will have another chance in 2020.
