5 landing spots for TE O.J. Howard after being released by the Bills

It has been a bumpy road for former Alabama tight end O.J. Howard since he entered the league. From injuries to being released, Howard is still looking to prove his worth in the NFL.

On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills announced that they were releasing Howard. The Alabama native recently agreed to a contract with the Bills that guaranteed $3.2 million for one year. Ultimately, the team will be forced to pay Howard despite him not making the Bills’ active roster.
