Ifeadi Odenigbo Signed by Giants



Tit-for-tat: Vikings restricted free agent DE Ifeadi Odenigbo has been signed by the Giants, 1 year, $2.5M:

Vikings could have used a $2.1M tender on him but chose not to. 15 QB hits, 42 pressures, 60.7 PFF grade in 2020 with 4 sacks, 74.4 grade in 2019 with 7 sacks. Interestingly, although his pass rush win rate was only average, he was the 5th most double-teamed EDGE rusher in the NFL last year, behind only JJ Watt, Za'darius Smith, Myles Garrett, and Joey Bosa:

Vikings had a terrible interior DL last year (hence their signing Dalvin), but maybe with LW and Dexy in the middle Idenigbo will see less double teaming and be as effective as he was in limited action in 2019. Since we missed out on Reddick, I like this as a possible value signing. Doesn't mean we shouldn't draft an EDGE, but worth a chance.

Here is Daniel Jones being sacked by Idenigbo last year. Looks like he beat Halapio:
