Summary
- Defensive tackle CJ Okoye traded to Giants for a 2028 seventh-round pick.

- At 6-foot-6 and 365 pounds, Okoye adds significant size to the Giants' defense.
Defensive tackle CJ Okoye has been traded to the New York Giants, reuniting him with coach John Harbaugh. This move, finalized on Saturday, saw the Giants acquire Okoye from the Baltimore Ravens for a 2028 seventh-round draft pick. Okoye, a 24-year-old reserve lineman, was considered on the roster bubble with the Ravens.
The Giants sought to bolster their interior defensive line depth and found a player familiar with their coaching staff. Okoye joins several other former Ravens on the Giants, including tight end Isaiah Likely and punter Jordan Stout. This acquisition was facilitated by an earlier trade where the Giants acquired an additional 2028 seventh-round pick from the Kansas City Chiefs.
In his 13 appearances last season, Okoye registered 15 tackles, with one tackle for loss. His considerable size, standing at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 365 pounds, makes him a significant physical presence in the middle of the defensive line.
