The New York Giants acquired defensive tackle C.J. Okoye from the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round pick, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Art Staple of USA TODAY provided some additional clarity, reporting that the Giants are sending their own 2028 seventh-round pick to Baltimore as part of the deal.
Okoye, a 6-foot-6, 365-pound nose tackle, reunites with Giants head coach John Harbaugh after spending the 2025 season in Baltimore. The 24-year-old Nigerian product entered the NFL through the International Player Pathway Program following two seasons on the Los Angeles Chargers' practice squad. He also trained at former Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora's Uprise camp.
Promoted to Baltimore's
active roster last October, Okoye appeared in 13 games and recorded 15 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection on 214 defensive snaps. The massive interior lineman gives New York another large body after the offseason trade of Dexter Lawrence and questions about depth behind veterans D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris.
The move comes as the Giants finalize their 53-man roster ahead of the regular season.
