Former Buffalo Great OJ Howard Cut by Raiders

[BuffaloBillyG]

 

Didn't even make it until final cuts this year on a team that moved on from their top 2 TEs from last year. (Waller/Moreau). Shame to see injuries derail what could have been a great career. Bad signing last year by Beane but at least he didn't compound it by keeping him around.

Josh McDaniels....

And if he would have made the team last year and performed adequately, maybe we don't draft Kincaid this year.  Blessings in disguise.

Never fully recovered from the injury.

The 'Robert Foster' of TEs? 🤔

It really needs to be asked, much like the wrong Josh at QB, do we have the wrong OJ on the wall of fame?

Most players get placed on waivers…but with OJ when he gets waived it’s usually his coaching waving so long to him at the facility.

They are giving him time to catch on with another team like Saskatchewan Roughriders.

I hear team West Herr is looking for a new salesman.

I was SURE that he was going to be a star coming out of Alabama. 🤷🏻‍♂️

OJ Howard sucked when he was on the team.

Same, though no telling how he would have turned out had he not followed the Sammy Watkins career path. Hate to see guys with so much promise not live up to what could have been after injuries.

Same here and I would have bet money on it. He had a difficult enough time coming back from the less severe injuries like high ankle sprains, but the ruptured achilles early in the 2020 season proved to be too much. He was just never the same athlete after that. I give him credit for trying though.

The original 12 personnel final piece of the puzzle.

This thing just blows me away a guy so freaking good in college & seemed to have so much talent to build on just can't even stick with a team as a 3rd TE - WOW ...

tbf he played on a pretty great college team.  im a huge alabama fan, but always wary about drafting their skill players because they dont often live up to the hype

This one doesn't go through defenders like a hot knife through... oh

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Kincade may have more catches in training camp than Howard does in his career.

How can they do this to a Buffalo wall of famer?
