Avery Atkins
Player Avery Atkins was not a member of the Florida Gators football team, nor was he enrolled in the University of Florida at the time of his death. Atkins should be removed from this list. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

As the title is unchanged
... I believe the next step is to list all the games played after death by the people referenced so that the "whole" of their careers are detailed. After all, they died during their career, so must have continued their careers after they died. WillE (talk) 21:29, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

O. J. Murdock
Could you show me where it says he was released before committing suicide? All I found makes it seem like he was still a member of the team. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

John Tuggle
John Tuggle died during his career. New York Giants. Please add him. 2601:646:8201:B2B0:D64:583:4240:1CBE (talk) 14:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

D.J. Hayden
Could D.J. Hayden be added here since he never announced his retirement before he died? 100.0.42.150 (talk) 04:13, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Only players who died while still on a team roster are added. Hayden was a free agent at the time of his death. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:49, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
