Tracking UGA football in NFL Free Agency

NFL Free Agency is especially unpredictable this off-season. Numerous Georgia Bulldogs are headlining some shocking moves.

In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Rams have released Todd Gurley. Gurley would fit in with the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and more. He was the engine of Los Angeles’s Super Bowl offense in 2018.

The Chicago Bears have released outside linebacker Leonard Floyd. Floyd signed a one year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. Chicago originally selected Floyd with a first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

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.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed a franchise tag on wide receiver A.J. Green. The  tag prevents Green from entering NFL Free Agency. Will he sign the tag with Cincinnati and pair up with projected number one overall pick Joe Burrow or hold out?

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.

Recently released former New York Giants linebacker Alec Ogletree is seeking a new home. At 28 years old, Ogletree is still productive. He has the speed necessary to be a linebacker in the modern NFL.

The Los Angeles Chargers released Thomas Davis, who will turn 37 before the 2020 NFL season. He’s rejoining former Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera with the Washington Redskins.

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.

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.

Ben Watson, who played with the New England Patriots in 2019, is technically a free agent. Watson officially announced his retirement this week.

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.

Bonus: Las Vegas Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell, who missed the 2019 season with an Achilles injury, is now a free agent.
