The NFL free agency period has been busy for former Penn State players, with several Nittany Lions securing major deals across the league. Headlining the moves is running back Miles Sanders, who is set to join the Dallas Cowboys. After spending last season with the Carolina Panthers, Sanders now finds himself in Dallas, where he’ll look to revitalize the team’s rushing attack alongside quarterback Dak Prescott.
Another massive deal saw offensive lineman Will Fries cash in with an $88 million contract. The versatile lineman, who has steadily developed into a reliable starter, secured a long-term future with his team, solidifying his role as a key piece in their protection unit. His payday marks a major milestone in his career, proving his value in the trenches.
Other former Penn State standouts have also been on the move, with defensive players drawing significant interest from teams looking to bolster their rosters. As free agency continues, more Nittany Lions could land lucrative deals, further showcasing the program’s impact on the professional level.
With plenty of offseason moves still to come, Penn State fans will be closely monitoring where their former stars land and how they will contribute to their new teams.
