Several former Ohio State football players sign new deals in free agency

Monday was the first day of NFL free agency and plenty of former Ohio State football players got paid. Several Buckeyes moved teams while one stayed with his current one and got a nice new deal. One player who hasn't gotten moved yet is Justin Fields.

Fields hasn't been traded by the Bears yet. It's a surprising move considering Chicago is supposed to draft a quarterback with the number-one pick in the NFL Draft. In the first 24 hours of free agency, Fields is still a Bear. Let's move on to guys who do have new teams though.

Jonah Jackson is the big winner of the Buckeyes. He got a new three-year deal worth $51 million to go to LA and play for the Rams. That's big money for a guard, but he's earned it. Jackson played his final year of college ball with the Ohio State football program after playing at Rutgers for four years.

Cameron Johnston has a new place to call home as well. He signed a three-year deal with the Steelers worth about $9 million after playing for the Texans. He's had a good NFL career so far after being one of the best punters in all of college football.

Jeff Okudah has a new home as well, which is the norm for him. He signed a one-year deal worth $4.75 million with Houston. Injuries have been the story of his career and are a big reason why he's bounced around. This will be his third team in five years.

One former Buckeye who stayed with his current team is Tyquan Lewis. He re-signed with the Colts and got a two-year deal. Injuries have hurt Lewis too, but he's been highly effective when he's been healthy. Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard clearly loves him.

Those are all of the players who have signed new deals so far. We'll keep you updated on some other deals as they come down.
