Former Alabama Football tight end O.J. Howard has been released by the Las Vegas Raiders with roughly a month to go until the start of the 2023 NFL regular season.
Howard, who played for the Crimson Tide from 2013-2016, won a College Football Playoff national championship and then was drafted in the first round of the 2016 draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His career in Tampa lasted five years and featured a Super Bowl win with quarterback Tom Brady.
He spent the 2022 season with the Houston Texans after being released by the Buffalo Bills weeks before the start of the season. He appeared in 13 games for Houston, where he had 10 catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns.
In March, he signed with the Raiders. Now, he returns to free agency and will look to sign elsewhere before the 2023 season kicks off.
