NFL free agency: Tracking where former Alabama players sign
If you can believe it, NFL free agency is underway. The legal tampering period started back in mid-March, and teams officially started signing their new players on Wednesday of that week. Since then, several former high-profile Alabama players have found — or are searching for — a new home.
All-in-all, there are approximately 20 former Crimson Tide products taking part in free agency. Most of those were expected to hit the market as unrestricted free agents. Other former Alabama players — including wide receiver Julio Jones and safety Landon Collins — have been released.
Below, we’ve put together an easy list for you to follow. Be sure to check back in once the free agency frenzy gets underway to see where these guys end up. We’ll be doing full breakdowns of landing spots once they happen and what the fit will look like with each player’s new squad.
