Just a few months have passed since the end of the 2016 NFL season, and players have already started getting cut, traded and re-signed. Several former Ohio State stars are looking for new deals as they head into spring training, and it all starts with the opening of free agency.
A few big name former Buckeyes are looking for new big-money, longterm contracts and others are looking for one more roster spot on their way to retirement. There are a couple notable veterans, like James Laurinaitis and Mike Nugent, who will consider retiring after they both were released before the end of the 2016 season.
