Giants cut LB Alec Ogletree (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

He was an all-pro just three years ago.

I was a big fan when he came out. Wonder if he’s got any tread left on the tires.

I would sign him or get Kirksey you can never go wrong with having 2 elite LBs on the field at all times that can do it all : pash rush, run defense and Coverage

Looks like moves are starting ..
New agreement in cba soon?

Doubt it, all bonuses earned this season have to be paid under the cap, other years they got charged to the following year.

I like Alec a lot.

He was one of my favourite prospects coming out from Georgia.

He played well for the Rams, and it seemed that he was traded to the Giants for cap relief.

We can't judge his time in New York considering that awful defence.

He is still young at 28, he played with Janoris Jenkins, and if signed he won't count against when calculating compensatory picks.

I would love for us to get Alec to replace Kiko in our depth.

 

[St.Dan]

Been a slow-bloomer, but he'd be good for depth if the price was right, of course.

Depending on the player.

In this case, Ogletree is only 28. Typically right in a player’s prime.

But coaches are going to have to figure out why his play fell off. I have read that he’s really bad in pass pro. Is that a scheme issue? Or is it something that you can’t work with?

I’ll be curious to see where he goes.

I haven’t watched him much but coming out a Georgia he was a LB/S hybrid and pass pro was one of his strengths. I remember with the Rams he was pretty good at pass pro.

Right. And then he fell off a cliff.

That’s what I mean. Some coach is going to have to figure out why.

He was probably trying too hard to make plays, to help out that porous defense. Just stick to the fundamentals and instincts. I’m sure he could rebound if surrounded with better talent.

 

[busdriver]

It looks like it would be a good addition.
I mean I thought Teo Played great when he was here.
And he washed out of San Diego.

 

[AustSaint]

I have always liked Alec, good, solid LB. I hope we at least think about him. Rebound year contract?
