Gable Steveson Waived by Buffalo Bills

Gable Steveson's attempt to transition from wrestling to professional football has hit a setback as he was waived by the Buffalo Bills, leaving his NFL prospects uncertain. Steveson, a two-time NCAA champion and Olympic gold medalist, joined the Bills in May after being released by WWE, where he struggled to make an impact. Despite showing promise during the preseason, including involvement in three tackles, Buffalo’s general manager Brandon Beane noted that Steveson's inexperience and smaller frame ultimately led to his release. Though he has been waived, NFL insiders suggest this may not be the end of Steveson's football journey, as he remains a developmental prospect. With the option to sign with another team or potentially return to the Bills' practice squad, his future in the NFL remains open. Steveson's previous legal issues from 2019 did not factor into his release, which was more about his performance on the field.
