Giants signing linebacker Victor Dimukeje after losing Azeez Ojulari to Eagles

One edge out, one edge in.

One day after losing Azeez Ojulari to the Eagles, the Giants agreed to terms with outside linebacker Victor Dimukeje, The Post confirmed.

Dimukeje, 25, has four sacks (all during the 2023 season) in 55 career games, including eight starts, for the Cardinals.

His résumé includes extensive special teams experience, with at least 65 percent of the snaps on that side of the ball in three straight years.

The Giants have focused on signing backup linebackers who also provide something on defense rather than exclusively special teamers, which was one of the flaws with their roster depth last season.

The Giants hadn’t fully closed the door on re-signing Ojulari before he inked a one-year, $4 million deal with the Eagles at what is believed to be a discounted price for the Super Bowl champions.

Asking Dimukeje, a former sixth-round draft pick, to fill Ojulari’s role as a third edge rusher (six sacks in 11 games last season) would require a big leap of faith, so the Giants figure to still be on the hunt for pᴀss-rush help.
