Adam Spencer | 2 years ago

OJ Howard has been with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since he was drafted No. 19 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.

But, it appears the Bucs are moving on from the former Alabama star. Howard landed on his feet, though, going from one Super Bowl contender to another.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Howard is signing a 1-year contract worth up to $5 million with the Buffalo Bills:

The Bills just made a big free agency splash earlier on Wednesday evening, adding pass rusher Von Miller to the roster on a big contract.

Howard recorded 14 catches for 135 yards and 1 touchdown in 2021 while serving as a backup to Rob Gronkowski.
