Gable Steveson Signing with Buffalo Bills After WWE Release

Gable Steveson joined WWE few years ago and had been training through dark matches, facing uncertainty about his status on WWE television. However, earlier this month, he was released by WWE. Following his WWE release, it seems he has signed with the Buffalo Bills.

Gable Steveson’s release from WWE was long time coming for many fans, given his difficulty in connecting with audiences despite his earlier expression of satisfaction with his role just a month ago.

As reported earlier, Gable Steveson had been meeting with the Buffalo Bills and other NFL teams following his WWE release. According to ESPN, Steveson is making the jump to the NFL by signing with the Buffalo Bills, his agent Carter Chow told ESPN.

Steveson is signing a standard rookie three-year deal and aims to join Bob Hayes as the only athlete to win both a Super Bowl ring and an Olympic gold medal. Despite acknowledging the steep learning curve ahead, Steveson is excited for the opportunity.

“I have been fortunate to compete at the highest level of competition in my sport but am looking forward to the challenge of seeing how my wrestling skills may translate to football,” Steveson said. “I am grateful to Coach (Sean) McDermott, (general manager) Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills organization for giving me this opportunity.”

It was noted that Gable Steveson is expected to play defensive line. Regardless, Steveson is clearly focused on his new career following his WWE exit and we’ll have to see if he will find more success in the NFL.
