New York Giants Part Ways with Veteran Linebacker Bobby Okereke

East Rutherford, N.J. — The New York Giants have informed veteran linebacker Bobby Okereke that he is being released, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.

The move severs ties with one of the team’s most experienced defenders, trimming the roster ahead of the upcoming league year. Okereke, who joined the Giants in 2023, had been expected to anchor the linebacker corps but will now hit the open market.

The Giants have not publicly commented on the transaction, and no additional roster moves were disclosed. The timing of the release allows Okereke to explore opportunities with other clubs before the heart of free agency begins.
