Several Georgia Bulldogs are NFL free agents and will cash in this off-season. NFL Free Agency started Monday morning, March 16 when the contact/negotiation period began. The new CBA has been approved and teams are ready to roll toward the 2020 season.
March 16th was the deadline for teams to place a franchise tag on players. In fact, the Cincinnati Bengals put a franchise tag on wide receiver A.J. Green. The franchise tag prevents Green from entering into NFL Free Agency. Will he sign the tag with Cincinnati or hold out? Green has already stated he’ll skip OTAs (which may be cancelled due to the Coronavirus).
The Bengals have released offensive tackle Cordy Glenn. Glenn, a second round pick out of the University of Georgia, is a free agent. At 30, Glenn will have a market among teams looking to upgrade their pass-blocking.
New York Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins is in for a massive raise. New York, who has minimal pass rushing opinions, will have to pay their 2019 sack leader to coax him to stay.
Recently released former New York Giants linebacker Alec Ogletree will look for another payday. At 28 years old, Ogletree is in his prime and will command a longer term contract.
The Miami Dolphins released veteran safety Reshad Jones. Jones is a Pro Bowl level talent if he can stay healthy. At 32 years old, Jones will sign a short-term deal.
The Los Angeles Chargers released Thomas Davis, who will turn 37 before the start of the 2020 NFL season, and can still play– he logged over 100 tackles last season. Davis spent the first thirteen season of his career with the Carolina Panthers. Davis may consider retiring.
John Jenkins, who played in 16 games last season for the Miami Dolphins as a defensive tackle, is a free agent. Jenkins produced more than ever in Miami, where he recorded 34 tackles. Look for him to re-sign with the Dolphins.
Buffalo Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie is a versatile free agent. The 24-year-old had an career-best 2019 campaign, during which he caught 27 passes for 257 receiving yards and scored a touchdown.
Ben Watson, who played with the New England Patriots in 2019, is technically a free agent. Watson officially announced his retirement this week.
Bonus: Las Vegas Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell, who missed the 2019 season with an Achilles injury, is now a free agent.
