Every time NFL Free Agency rolls around, one thing is a given. A bunch of former Ohio State Buckeyes are going to be involved.

Players will begin being able to negotiate with teams on March 11 at noon ET and deals can be signed starting on March 13 at 4 p.m. ET.

A total of 14 former Buckeyes headline the list of former Ohio State players who are either an unrestricted free agent, restricted free agent, or an exclusive rights free agent.

Expect some deals to begin coming in on that Monday for the former Buckeyes, while some may wait deep into the offseason before signing with a new team. There is a very real chance that double-digit Buckeyes end up with a new NFL Team.

The beginning of the new league year with free agency and the NFL Draft is a very popular time for some players who once sported scarlet and gray.
