The NY Giants bolstered their pass rush Wednesday evening, agreeing to terms on a one-year contract with former Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Ifeadi Odenigbo.

Odenigbo, 26, has the chance to step in and play an immediate role in the NY Giants’ pass rush, after the Vikings decided not to use the seventh-round tender, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent.

Last season, Odenigbo produced four sacks and 42 total pressures — including 11 quarterback hits, on his way to garnering a 68.2 pass-rush grade from Pro Football Focus.
