Two former New Orleans Saints players are packing up and heading to the Sunshine State on Sunday, with rookie running back Devine Ozigbo claimed off of waivers by the Jacksonville Jaguars and backup linebacker Vince Biegel traded to the Miami Dolphins (in exchange for veteran linebacker Kiko Alonso). Each player took time to thank the team and fans on social media before introducing themselves to their new squad.
Ozigbo signed with the Saints after the 2019 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska. He penned a message on his official Twitter account, saying, “This opportunity with the Saints has been an honor and a privilege, I learned a lot from the coaches and the players in this organization, things that I’ll take with me throughout the rest of my career, but I’m VERY excited for this new opportunity in Jacksonville.”
Biegel, who initially joined the Saints practice squad last season before getting promoted to the active roster, shared his own message. “The Biegels are moving to Miami,” the former Saints linebacker wrote from his official Twitter account, sharing a photo of himself and his family. “Can’t wait to get started (with the) Miami Dolphins.”
