Now Giants cut, replace Romeo Okwara as overhaul continues

The Giants continue to discard players who were with them last season and this entire spring and summer and sign outsiders to their revolving-door roster.

Tuesday’s transaction was the addition of John Jenkins, a 29-year-old defensive tackle, and the waiving of Romeo Okwara, a 23-year-old defensive end who had one memorable moment in a Giants uniform.

Jenkins played in eight games last season for the Bears. He was a 2013 third-round pick of the Saints out of Georgia and spent four years in New Orleans. A 327-pound run-stuffer, he played in 42 games his first three years in the NFL and only 17 the past three years.
