There are a few Gamecocks in the news this offseason. Here’s a look at a couple alum that are set to join new teams, and a couple more who’ve decided to test the waters in NFL free agency.

Sports in the US may be on a temporary hiatus, but this year’s NFL offseason is as active as ever. There have been blockbuster trades and some major surprises in free agency. All of this just a month ahead of the upcoming NFL Draft in Las Vegas this April.

Over the last week, we’ve seen Tom Brady leave the Patriots, after 20 years, to ink a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeAndre Hopkins dealt to the Arizona Cardinals for David Johnson, Teddy Bridgewater sign with the Carolina Panthers (which didn’t sit well with Cam Newton), Philip Rivers join the Indianapolis Colts, and a trade that sent Stefon Diggs to Buffalo.

Check out the latest news on some ex-Gamecocks who have also been busy in the NFL offseason market.
