Chukwuma Okorafor
27-Year-Old
Free Agent


Let go by New England
The Patriots released Okorafor (undisclosed) on Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
New England placed Okorafor on the exempt/left squad list in mid-September, and he remained there for the rest of the campaign. The 2018 third-round draft pick made just one appearance last season, as he started Week 1 and logged 12 snaps before being pulled. Okorafor's release means he now is free to pursue work with a different organization.
