Former Clemson linebacker Tony Steward has been released on Monday morning according to his Twitter account.

"Extremely grateful to the Bills organization for the opportunity they gave me," Steward tweeted. "Looking forward to the next chapter."

Steward had two tackles in seven games with the Bills last season.
