Report: Rams trade former Georgia LB Alec Ogletree to NFC East team

Former Georgia LB Alec Ogletree has been a big part of the Los Angeles Rams’ defense for the past five years, but now the Rams are moving in a different direction.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams are sending Ogletree to the New York Giants.

Per Schefter’s tweets, the Rams are sending Ogletree and a 2019 seventh-round pick to the Giants for 2018 fourth-round and sixth-round picks:

And another trade: Rams trading LB Alec Ogletree to the New York Giants for two 2018 draft picks, per league source.

That move is an interesting one for the Rams, but it’s one that has already angered their star player and Ogletree’s former Georgia teammate — RB Todd Gurley:

Making Gurley made isn’t a great strategy for the Rams, but the NFL is a business, so they are just doing what they think is best for the team’s future.
