Nick Harris thinks the Cowboys may have interest in Giants LB Bobby Okereke

[gimmesix]

He would be a role player and would be an improvement over our other LBs with the exception of a healthy Overshown.

No one is saying he would be a star of the defense.

He would be the placeholder that the team likes to have heading into the draft.

I do not know what people expect to be in FA, most UFAs are over the hill, underperformers, maybe injury history that has made them available, or guys teams bet on and lost with bad contracts. Not too many current all-pros sitting by the phone waiting for FA to start. Anyone that is going to be a free agent will come with many warts.

 

[JeffInDC]

Bobby Okereke is better than EVERY LB on the roster, INCLUDING Overshown (until he can stay healthy and prove otherwise). For whatever reason, it seems like almost everyone on the Giants D had a down year, including Dexter Lawrence.

 

[Sydla]

This is the tier of free agency the Cowboys play in.

Oh this is exactly the level of FAs I expect us to dabble in. We may sign more of these this year but make no mistake, it willl be a bushel of cross your fingers and hope type FAs.

This is not true. There are always quite a few upper level and even mid-tier guys that can help.

 

[kskboys]

Of course, he's had injury issues, just our type of guy!!!!

Tired of talking about other people's trash!

Why the hell would he think that??? Maybe he can think we have interest in Myles Garrett!!


does he even fit into Parker's system, here we go with this!!!!!!!

For the right price Bobby Okereke could give us depth.
We could do a lot worse than Okereke.

More like why would I pay Bobby $9 million when I can get Sonny Styles?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Not bad depth, but I hope he's not a starting option. But we do need depth too.

I would be happy signing him. Just as long as plan on signing another guy (Dean, Singleton etc.)

He’s a captain, green dot guy who is valuable.

I think he follows Gus Bradley and ends up in Tennessee

Chuck Howley part 2!

 

[morasp]

I expect at least one starting caliber LB (average or plus) to be signed in FA. Looking at Spotrac the only LB whose market value they have listed over $10M AAV is Devin Lloyd.

I hope they take a O tackle but I think he goes D. Now that Bobby got cut the Cowboys will look for the bargain

Same here. I'd love to get Dean and Singleton as well. Plus, if we draft a linebacker (as we should), it might be good to have veteran presence for the draftee to learn from.

- 29 years old
- 56.3 PFF Grase (56th out of 88)
- 103 tackles (9th out of 89)

Most reports if he plays well against lower competition but disappears against good teams.

Well he fits in here.

And to not have possible distractions by good players who demand others to play better can be viewed as a plus too.

“I’m a big Bobby Okereke fan"

One of those phrases one rarely hears uttered in mixed company.
