  "account": "Washington football wide receiver Dante Pettis was among 13 players recently cut by the Buffalo Bills before the 53-man roster deadline. Pettis, a second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2018 draft, signed with the Bills two weeks ago but failed to secure a spot on the active roster for the regular season. Despite receiving limited playing time, he contributed a 16-yard reception in the Bills' preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he did not log a target in the Bills' 31-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns during the week of his signing. Though his Buffalo tenure was brief, Pettis has now found himself in search of his sixth team entering his ninth season in the NFL. Born in San Clemente, California, Pettis spent two full seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before being claimed off waivers by the New York Giants in November 2020. He remained with the Giants until the end of the 2020 season before returning in 2021. Unfortunately, injuries ultimately derailed his time with the Chicago Bears, leading him to join the New Orleans Saints in 2024.",
