How did all nine of Georgia’s 2021 basketball transfers do at their new schools in 2021-2022?
Georgia men’s basketball had a disappointing 2021-2022 season. The Bulldogs finished 6-26 and won one SEC conference game.
Georgia parted ways with head coach Tom Crean following the season and hired Florida head coach Mike White to the same position.
Georgia’s 2021-2022 season was poor due to a variety of reasons. Injuries did not help the cause either. Key FAU transfer Jailyn Ingram missed much of the 2021-2022 season with an injury. Georgia’s only returning starter, P.J. Horne, missed the entire season with a right knee injury.
The Bulldogs returned almost no production and experience from the 2020-2021 team. Georgia added several transfers, but lost a number of valuable pieces to the transfer portal.
Here’s how all nine of Georgia’s 2021 basketball transfers did at their new schools in 2021-2022:

Cincinnati Bengals and former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver A.J. Green has signed the franchise tag.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has signed the franchise tag. Green, a former Georgia Bulldog, was unable to hit NFL free agency this offseason.
Green signed the deal after he failed to reach to a contract extension with the Bengals before the July deadline.
Hopefully former LSU Tigers standout Joe Burrow will have success with A.J. Green, who has never won a playoff game in his NFL career. It’s not Green’s fault, but that could be motivation behind him thinking twice before signing a long-term extension with Cincinnati.
Here’s what No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow said about A.J. Green at the NFL Combine:
#Bengals announce that 10-year vet, AJ Green signed his franchise tender today. “He’s an important part of our plans, and we’re thrilled to have him in the fold from Day 1.”- Zac Taylor I’m sure Joe Burrow is happy to hear this as well.
NFL Free Agency has been underway for over a month this off-season. Georgia Bulldogs are headlining some of the league’s intriguing moves.

In a surprising decision, the Los Angeles Rams have released Todd Gurley. Gurley has signed a one-year $5-million deal with Atlanta Falcons. He was the engine of Los Angeles’s Super Bowl offense in 2018. It’s a dream come true for Falcons and Georgia fans.

The Chicago Bears have released outside linebacker Leonard Floyd. Floyd signed a one year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. Chicago originally selected Floyd with a first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
New York Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins is returning to the Jets on a one-year $5M prove-it deal. He was New York’s sack leader in 2019.
The NFL announced their all-decade team for the 2010s decade. One former Georgia Bulldog made the team.
The NFL announced their all-decade team for the 2010s decade. Tom Brady, Joe Thomas, Marshal Yanda, J.J. Watt, Aaron Donald, Von Miller, Justin Tucker, and Adrian Peterson headline the team as unanimous all-decade selections.
Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Geno Atkins is the only Dawg to make the team. Atkins has been a standout for the Bengals throughout the decade. Other potential UGA candidates for the team included: Todd Gurley, Champ Bailey, Justin Houston (89.5 sacks in the decade), A.J. Green, Thomas Davis, David Andrews, and more.
Here’s the offensive and defensive selections for the 2010s all-decade team:
Do you think any Georgia Bulldogs got snubbed? It’s hard to argue with a lot of the selections, especially the unanimous ones. D’Andre Swift has been compared to one of the all-decade selections ahead of the NFL Draft.
Interestingly, there are all outside linebackers on the team rush the passer (Thomas Davis would fit the bill as an OLB who didn’t play in a 3-4 defense). Speaking of outside linebackers, Justin Houston recorded 28 sacks more than Khalil Mack during the 2010s decade, but Houston failed to make the team.
There are only four receivers on the team, while there’s four offensive guards and four tackles, so the receivers position is a little bit light. Would A.J. Green have been the fifth receiver on the team?
The honor is well-deserved for Geno Atkins, who recorded 75.5 sacks and 383 tackles over the decade. Atkins is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and is a role-model for modern NFL defensive tackles.
Todd Gurley, Leonard Floyd, and Thomas Davis are among many Georgia Bulldogs in NFL Free Agency.
NFL Free Agency is especially unpredictable this off-season. Numerous Georgia Bulldogs are headlining some shocking moves.
In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Rams have released Todd Gurley. Gurley would fit in with the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and more. He was the engine of Los Angeles’s Super Bowl offense in 2018.
The Chicago Bears have released outside linebacker Leonard Floyd. Floyd signed a one year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. Chicago originally selected Floyd with a first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

New York Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins is in for a massive raise. New York, who has minimal pass rushing opinions, will have to pay their 2019 sack leader to coax him to stay.
The Bengals have released offensive tackle Cordy Glenn. Glenn, a second round pick out of the University of Georgia, is a free agent. At 30, Glenn will have a market among teams looking to upgrade their pass-blocking.
Recently released former New York Giants linebacker Alec Ogletree is seeking a new home. At 28 years old, Ogletree is still productive. He has the speed necessary to be a linebacker in the modern NFL.
Georgia Bulldogs Jordan Jenkins, Cordy Glenn, Alec Ogletree,Thomas Davis, Reshad Jones and more are NFL free agents this off-season.
Several Georgia Bulldogs are NFL free agents and will cash in this off-season. NFL Free Agency started Monday morning, March 16 when the contact/negotiation period began. The new CBA has been approved and teams are ready to roll toward the 2020 season.
March 16th was the deadline for teams to place a franchise tag on players. In fact, the Cincinnati Bengals put a franchise tag on wide receiver A.J. Green. The franchise tag prevents Green from entering into NFL Free Agency. Will he sign the tag with Cincinnati or hold out? Green has already stated he’ll skip OTAs (which may be cancelled due to the Coronavirus).

The Miami Dolphins released veteran safety Reshad Jones. Jones is a Pro Bowl level talent if he can stay healthy. At 32 years old, Jones will sign a short-term deal.
The Cincinnati Bengals are giving former Georgia Bulldog star wide receiver A.J. Green the franchise tag.
The Cincinnati Bengals are giving star wide receiver A.J. Green the franchise tag. Green, a former Georgia Bulldog, will not be able to hit NFL Free Agency since he’s been given the franchise tag.
The move is an expected one. Hopefully Joe Burrow will have success with A.J. Green, who has never won a playoff game in his NFL career.
Green will be an elite target for rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, who’s been stated saying he’d like A.J. to play with him. Cincinnati has the number one overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
A.J. Green will reportedly not attend OTAs since he got the franchise tag. That being said, there may be no OTAs for Green to attend due to the Coronavirus.
Numerous Georgia Bulldogs are scheduled to become NFL free agents this off-season including: A.J. Green, Reshad Jones, and more.
Numerous Georgia Bulldogs are becoming NFL free agents this off-season. Each of these Bulldogs will get one of the largest paydays of their life or simply another shot to make an impact in the NFL.
NFL free agency kicks-off on Monday, March 16th when the legal tampering period begins. March 16th is also the deadline for teams to place a franchise tag on players. The new CBA is currently being voted on and could complicate the free agency process.
There’s no doubt about the top potential University of Georgia product who could be headed for NFL Free Agency: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green. The Bengals are expected to give Green the franchise tag to prevent him from hitting free agency.
When healthy A.J. Green is one of the elite wide receivers in the NFL. Unfortunately he missed the entire 2019 season after suffering an ankle injury in training camp. Swelling prevented his attempted return late in the season.
Green, who is 31 years old, has over 600 career receptions for 8,907 yards. He’s scored 63 touchdowns as well, but has never won a playoff game. Will he sign the franchise tag with Cincinnati or holdout? The Bengals have needs across the board and may want to stick with their talented young receivers, who will look to mesh with projected number one overall pick Joe Burrow.
New York Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins will be in for a massive raise. Jenkins led New York in sacks in 2019 with 8.0 sacks. The Jets are desperate for a better pass rush. Green was the only Jets linebacker or defensive lineman with more than three sacks! Look for him to command around ten million dollars per season.

Recently released linebacker Alec Ogletree will be looking for another payday. The New York Giants elected to release him instead of paying his hefty salary. At 28 years old, Ogletree is still in his prime and will command league-wide interest.
The Miami Dolphins released veteran safety Reshad Jones to open up cap space. Jones, when healthy, is an impact player. At 32 years old, Jones will sign a shorter deal.
John Jenkins, who played in 16 games for the Miami Dolphins as a defensive tackle, is set to be a free agent as well. Jenkins is coming off one of his best seasons, where he recorded one sack along with 34 total tackles. Look for him to re-sign in Miami.
Buffalo Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie will hit the NFL Fee Agent market. The 24 year-old had an career-best 2019 campaign, where he caught 27 passes for 257 receiving yards and scored a touchdown. His versatile skill-set will be coveted.
Ben Watson, who played with the New England Patriots in 2019, is a free agent. Watson announced his retirement following New England’s defeat to the Tennessee Titans in the postseason. Watson has returned after retiring before, so don’t be shocked if he plays one more season.
Bonus: Las Vegas Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell, who missed the 2019 season with an Achilles injury, is set to become a free agent. Crowell never got to play for the Raiders, but he’ll look to make an impact somewhere in 2020.
The Cincinnati Bengals will place the franchise tag on former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Greene, according to ESPN. Green, coming off a 4-year, $60 million contract, missed the 2019 season with torn ligaments in his ankle suffered during preseason. …
The Cincinnati Bengals will place the franchise tag on former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Greene, according to ESPN.
Green, coming off a 4-year, $60 million contract, missed the 2019 season with torn ligaments in his ankle suffered during preseason.
He also missed significant portions of the 2016 and 2018 seasons and the Bengals are hesitant to sign the 31-year old South Carolina native to a long-term deal.
Drafted in the first round by the Bengals in 2011, Green’s 8,907 receiving yards rank fourth since he entered the league. His 602 receptions is second in Cincinnati history, he’s second in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns (63).
After Green’s ankle injury, the Bengals announced they will franchise Green if they can’t reach a long term deal by free agency. Green, one of the league’s most respected players responded that he will play under the franchise tag but would not participate in OTA’s and probably skip training camp as well.
The franchise tag is estimated to be worth about $18.5 million and the two sides have until July 15 to reach a long-term deal.
With the Bengals expected to select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with the number one pick, Green would be a huge asset for the Heisman Trophy winner.
