New York Giants Reserve/Future Contracts: OL Ikechuku Ndukwe

by Mike Fiammetta on Feb 10, 2011 7:36 AM EST in New York Giants News

How about another offensive lineman?

After taking a look at OL Jim Cordle earlier this week let's profile Ikechuku Ndukwe, the older brother of Cincinnati Bengals strong safety Chinedum Ndukwe. The 6-foot-5, 325-pound Ndukwe is 28 and has most recently played for the Kansas City Chiefs. Before that, the Northwestern graduate was a member of the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins. Ndukwe last suited up for Chiefs in 2009, when he started three games and appeared in 12. The year before that, he started 15 of 16 games for the Miami Dolphins.

Ndukwe is known for his size, but he has shown decent foot quickness. In his 33 appearances, Ndukwe allowed just 3.5 sacks and committed eight penalties for 55 yards. He played guard in college, but is now listed at tackle. Given the uncertainty surrounding the future - and even present - shape of the Giants' offensive line, it's hard to really count anyone out at this stage. If he stays healthy, Ndukwe could grab a reserve spot.

Chance of sticking around: Possible

That is a large man.

he has some experience which is good, tho its in Miami which kind of isn’t.

I’d like to see him get a roster spot. But just like many of these others, slim chance

Cleveland Brown Cuts...

According to SI Borwns are ~~AGAIN~~ on a rebuilding mode and will cut/have cut these players…

Nose tackle Shaun Rogers.
Veteran linebackers Eric Barton and David Bowens,
defensive end Kenyon Coleman,
tight end Robert Royal and right offensive tackle John St. Clair.

Maybe the G-men should take a look at any of these guys…pending the CBA negot.

Shaun Rogers is massive

I’d take a look but he’d probably get overpaid somewhere else. The LBs are useless to us, they’re OLBs in a 3-4. Coleman is a 3-4 DE athlete, but he ain’t no Canty. St.Clair might be decent for us and we’ve done well with former Cleveland OL castoffs I’d say, but he’s 33 years old.

So basically Rogers and no one else.

big and plays both

sounds like about 3 or 4 of the guys we were using to fill gaps this year. Invite him to Albany…

Prove me wrong TC.

I think he is the size of 3 or 4 guys together

I wonder if he can take the butt crown from PhoneBoothe.

Banter for off season.

All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
Tom Quinn Must Go!
On second thought, let's not blame players or coaches, they are not responsible. The unsupportive fans are to blame.

Who?

I guess Coughlin stays, the Chin is not in.
Okay, then fire Quinn, and bring in a young receivers coach.
PLEASE!

If he changes his name ala Ochocinco..I say keep him..

I can’t stand keeping players whose names I can’t pronounce..Trying to say these guys names makes me sound drunk before I have had a chance to get drunk..

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Bring Frank back..or you all can line up and "Kiss my Ass"..This is bullshit..
