Former Buffalo Great OJ Howard Cut by Raiders

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.

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.

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

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
