The Giants lose another player to Philly
Former New York Giants edge defender Azeez Ojulari is signing with the Philadelphia Bulldogs, err… The Philadelphia Eagles.

Ojulari will join a whole gaggle of former Georgia Bulldogs on the Eagles’ defense on a one-year, $4 million contract.
The Giants drafted Ojulari out of Georgia in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft. Ojulari was considered a potential top 10 pick, but fell due to injury concerns. He had an immediate impact on the Giants defense with 8.0 sacks as a rookie.
Ojulari has been a disruptive pass rusher whenever he’s been on the field, but he has also proved to be a liability as a run defender.
His injury concerns were born out and his rookie year was his last healthy season.
That is likely why Ojulari only signed a one-year deal with the Eagles when he was projected to sign a relatively rich multi-year deal.
