Owamagbe Odighizuwa: Waived by Bills
Odighizuwa was waived by the Bills on Sunday.
Odighizuwa, a third-round selection by the Giants in 2015, had yet to record a sack in his first three seasons. The defensive end has mentioned previously that he has considered taking a leave of absence from the sport, so it will be interesting to see what his next move is.

Bills' Owamagbe Odighizuwa: Signs one-year deal with Bills
Odighizuwa signed a one-year deal with the Bills on Thursday.
Odighizuwa, who the Giants took in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft, was released by New York in August of 2017 after being handed a four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy. The third-year defensive end recorded only six combined tackles during his two seasons with the Giants, but could benefit from the change of scenery Buffalo presents.

Owamagbe Odighizuwa: Waived by Giants
Odighizuwa (suspension) was waived Tuesday by the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
With Odighizuwa recently being handed a four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy, his release comes as no surprise. Odighizuwa was seen as a depth option at defensive end for the Giants, who are secure at the position with Olivier Vernon and Jason Pierre-Paul on each end of the line.

Giants' Owamagbe Odighizuwa: Attends Giants' offseason program
Odighizuwa (hamstring) attended the first day of the Giants' offseason program Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.
A little more than two weeks removed from indicating on Twitter that retirement was a possibility, Odighizuwa was among teammates Tuesday, lifting weights as the Giants kicked off a two-week period of strength, conditioning and rehabilitation. Apparently ready to continue his NFL career, he has a difficult path to playing time behind the likes of Jason Pierre-Paul (groin) and Olivier Vernon, hence Odighizuwa's meager share of defensive snaps (15.2 percent) last season.

Giants' Owamagbe Odighizuwa: May step away from football
Odighizuwa (hamstring) suggested on Twitter that he may step away from football for a time, SNY's Ralph Vacchiano reports.
A 2015 third-round selection, Odighizuwa has six tackles and nary a sack in 18 career regular-season appearances. If he doesn't take time off from the sport, he'll likely have to fight for a roster spot in training camp.

Giants' Owamagbe Odighizuwa: Getting to the QB
Odighizuwa has had a strong camp and could see work both inside and out on the defensive line this year.
With Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon around, Odighizuwa probably won't see a huge snap count, but he's a skilled pass rusher, and the Giants will get him on the field as an interior lineman on passing downs.

He's expected to be a prominent member of the team's defensive line rotation and could even line up inside on pass-rushing downs. Of course, barring an injury to Jason Pierre-Paul or Olivier Vernon, Odighizuwa won't see a heavy snap count.
