With the pre-season ending and the NFL moving to one cut-down day from 90 to 53, teams are starting to trim their rosters a few days early. The Buffalo Bills were one of those teams releasing three on Sunday, including former Texas A&M All-American tight end Jace Sternberger.
After bouncing around the NFL, Sternberger found a home in the USFL, where he became a star, setting a few records in the league’s young history. He was an All-USFL TE who led the league in touchdowns (7) and helped lead the Birmingham Stallions to the 2023 USFL Championship.
He played well enough to earn a contract with the Buffalo Bills in late July after a workout. It was going to be a tough room to break into with veteran Dawson Knox and 2023 first-round draft selection Dalton Kincaid already on the roster, and unfortunately for Sternberger, his time with the Bills has ended. However, he is grateful for the opportunity and ready for what comes next.
Thankful for the opportunity! Ready for the next one 🤞🏼 https://t.co/4Sgxc3FWGn
