Who remains unsigned after 1 week of NFL free agency?

Since the NFL’s 2024 business year opened at 3 p.m. CDT on March 13, 19 of the players from Alabama high schools and colleges who became unrestricted free agents at that moment have signed contracts for at least the 2024 season.

But another 16 players with Alabama football roots who became unrestricted free agents remain unrestricted free agents. The players who still need a contract for the 2024 campaign include:

· Linebacker Kwon Alexander (Oxford)

· Defensive tackle Angelo Blackson (Auburn)

· Linebacker Zach Cunningham (Pinson Valley)

· Linebacker Tae Davis (Oxford)

· Safety Rudy Ford (New Hope, Auburn)

· Running back Damien Harris (Alabama)

· Center J.C. Hassenauer (Alabama)

· Offensive tackle Chris Hubbard (UAB)

· Safety Kareem Jackson (Alabama)

· Wide receiver Julio Jones (Foley, Alabama)

· Defensive end Carl Lawson (Auburn)

· Long snapper Carson Tinker (Alabama)

· Cornerback Levi Wallace (Alabama)

· Offensive tackle Prince Tega Wanogho (Edgewood Academy, Auburn)

· Wide receiver Quez Watkins (Athens)

· Defensive tackle Nick Williams (Minor, Samford)

The 19 players from Alabama high schools and college who became unrestricted free agents one week ago and have signed contracts include:

· Defensive tackle Montravius Adams (Auburn) re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

· Defensive tackle Raekwon Davis (Alabama) signed with the Indianapolis Colts, leaving the Miami Dolphins.

· Offensive lineman Jack Driscoll (Auburn) signed with the Miami Dolphins, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles.

· Tight end Gerald Everett (UAB/South Alabama) signed with the Chicago Bears, leaving the Los Angeles Chargers.

· Defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand (Alabama) re-signed with the Miami Dolphins.

· Safety Ronnie Harrison (Alabama) re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts.

· Running back Derrick Henry (Alabama) signed with the Baltimore Ravens, leaving the Tennessee Titans.

· Defensive end Bryce Huff (St. Paul’s Episcopal) signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving the New York Jets.

· Cornerback Noah Igbinoghene (Hewitt-Trussville, Auburn) signed with the Washington Commanders, leaving the Dallas Cowboys.

· Running back Josh Jacobs (Alabama) signed with the Green Bay Packers, leaving the Las Vegas Raiders.

· Safety Xavier McKinney (Alabama) signed with Green Bay Packers, leaving the New York Giants.

· Wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Gadsden City) signed with the Atlanta Falcons, leaving the Chicago Bears.

· Linebacker Nicholas Morrow (Huntsville) signed with the Buffalo Bills, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles.

· Safety Jeremy Reaves (South Alabama) re-signed with the Washington Commanders.

· Wide receiver Calvin Ridley (Alabama) signed with the Tennessee Titans, leaving the Jacksonville Jaguars.

· Defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (Alabama) signed with the Carolina Panthers, leaving the New York Giants.

· Tight end Irv Smith Jr. (Alabama) signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving the Cincinnati Bengals.

· Linebacker Mack Wilson (Carver-Montgomery, Alabama) signed with the Arizona Cardinals, leaving the New England Patriots.

Four players with Alabama football roots who were scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on March 13 didn’t get there. They signed contract extensions with their 2023 teams. The players who didn’t quite make it to free agency were:

· Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (Homewood)

· New England Patriots linebacker Anfernee Jennings (Dadeville, Alabama)

· Cleveland Browns defensive end Za’Darius Smith (Greenville)

· Jacksonville Jaguars safety Daniel Thomas (Lee-Montgomery, Auburn)

Outside linebacker Josh Allen (Abbeville) also was on course to become an unrestricted free agent on March 13, but the Jacksonville Jaguars used their franchise tag on him. That gives the team another four months to work out a contract with the pass-rusher.

Three players with Alabama football roots had fewer than four NFL seasons and an expiring contract on March 13, making them eligible to become restricted free agents.

Cornerback Mike Jackson (Spain Park) did become a restricted free agent when the Seattle Seahawks placed an original-round tender on him. In that circumstance, the Seahawks offered Jackson a $3.116 million contract for the 2024 season. If he can find a better offer, Seattle will have the opportunity to match it. If the Seahawks decline to do that, then they will receive a fifth-round draft choice from Jackson’s new team. Jackson was a fifth-round selection of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Defensive tackle Marlon Davidson (Greenville, Auburn) and running back Derrick Gore (Alabama) were not tendered by their 2023 teams (the Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders, respectively) and are now unrestricted free agents.

Seven other players from Alabama high schools and colleges became free agents by being released between the end of the 2023 season and the start of the NFL’s 2024 business year on March 13:

· Center Bradley Bozeman (Handley, Alabama) signed with the Los Angeles Chargers after being released by the Carolina Panthers.

· Cornerback Tony Brown (Alabama) signed with the Cleveland Browns after being released by the Indianapolis Colts.

· Safety Eddie Jackson (Alabama) remains unsigned after being released by the Chicago Bears.

· Cornerback Siran Neal (Eufaula, Jacksonville State) signed with the Miami Dolphins after being released by the Buffalo Bills.

· Tight end C.J. Uzomah (Auburn) remains unsigned after being released by the New York Jets.

· Cornerback Darious Williams (UAB) signed with the Los Angeles Rams after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

· Quarterback Jameis Winston (Hueytown) signed with the Cleveland Browns after being released by the New Orleans Saints.
