Broncos' Inside Linebacker Gap: Okereke a Potential Fit

0:00On March 2nd, the Denver Broncos face a major gap at Inside Linebacker heading into the off-season and Bobby Okareki from the New York Giants could. Emerge as a strong option if he's really soon. Okareki is a seven-season veteran out of Stanford University, with 110 games under his belt, including 805 tackles, seven, and a half-sacks and 11 forced fumbles. He's averaged 124 tackles per season and served as a defensive captain for the Giants, starting nearly every game he's played. Since 2021, right now, the Broncos have just three Inside Linebackers under contract, Dre Greenlaw, who missed most of last season due to injury and suspension. Plus, LaVale Bailey and Karine Reed, who barely saw defensive action and focused on special teams. The team also loses Alex Singleton and Justin Strinnad to free agency, making this their top defensive priority, whether through trades, signings, or the draft. With a deep pool of Inside Linebackers available next year, including names like Devon Lloyd and Matt Milano, the Broncos have plenty of chances to.
