Los Angeles Rams trade ILB Alec Ogletree to New York Giants

Woah! In an absolute shocker, the Los Angeles Rams have traded ILB Alec Ogletree to the New York Giants for draft picks that haven’t been disclosed yet:

This is an absolute shocker because the Rams just recently handed Ogletree a long term extension making him the NFL’s third highest paid ILB. Ogletree has struggled with tackling as a Ram, though he offered plenty of splash plays and was a leader.

Here is the update on the Rams cap situation regarding Ogletree’s trade, per Jason Fitzgerald from OverTheCap:

This leaves the Rams with Mark Barron and incumbent Cory Littleton, though they may look to make a free agency splash. The Rams continue to extend cap space whether that means re-signing their own guys, or going out into the market and finding a ILB replacement.

The compensation will be updated when known, so please stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE (With compensation):
