Bills Rookie Breaks Up With 0nlyFans Celebrity Girlfriend After Securing 53-Man Roster Spot
The Buffalo Bills are sharpening their roster ahead of Week 1, balancing preseason evaluations with the final 53-man cutdown. For many young players, this marks the moment dreams turn into reality — or end in disappointment.
As roster spots solidify, the focus should be on football. Yet, the spotlight often reaches beyond the practice field, especially when rookies juggle the unique pressures of breaking into the NFL and managing their personal lives.
This week, one Bills rookie made headlines not for his playbook, but for a personal decision that he felt was necessary to protect his future in Buffalo and earn the trust of Bills Mafia.
That rookie is defensive end Landon Jackson, who confirmed he has ended his relationship with OnlyFans creator Emma Claire, a 23-year-old from Ohio known for lifestyle content, artistic photos, and a mild but spicy subscription presence.
Claire, who transitioned from Instagram into OnlyFans, has built a modest following of around 40,000. Her style is less explicit than many on the platform, focusing on connecting with fans through a blend of art and intimacy.
Jackson explained his reasoning in a candid statement: “Right now, I need to focus on building my career with the Bills. She brought too much noise, too many eyes on me. I need peace, I need focus — if not, I’ll lose my chance and be left behind in Bills Mafia.”
Reactions were swift on social media, with many fans applauding his decision to prioritize football, while others expressed sympathy for Claire. The breakup highlighted the intense spotlight rookies face once they secure a coveted roster spot.
For Jackson, making Buffalo’s 53-man roster is only step one. By cutting ties with distractions, the rookie has sent a message that his focus is clear: building his career, earning respect, and proving himself to Bills Mafia.
Steelers Brutally Cut Former Third-Round Pick Hours After Birthday Tribute — Player Left in Shock
PITTSBURGH, Pa. – August 26, 2025 – The Pittsburgh Steelers stunned fans on Tuesday with a ruthless roster decision, releasing a former Day 2 draft pick just hours after teammates had celebrated his birthday.
The move came as the team finalized its roster ahead of the 53-man cutdown deadline. Despite preseason optimism, the depth chart at outside linebacker left little margin for fringe players to survive.
Coaches had praised the defender’s perseverance, especially after returning from a serious 2024 neck injury. His versatility along the defensive line gave him value, but competition from rookies and younger standouts grew too strong.
That player was DeMarvin Leal, Pittsburgh’s third-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft. After three uneven seasons marked by flashes of promise and stretches of injury, the Steelers made the decision to part ways.
In a heartfelt statement, Leal admitted his shock: “I was still cutting the cake with my teammates when the call came. To be released on the same day the team celebrated my birthday… I’ve never felt a shock like that in my life.”
Leal’s release leaves Pittsburgh with just two members of its 2022 draft class still on the roster: wide receiver Calvin Austin III and tight end Connor Heyward. It also highlights the harsh churn of NFL roster building.
With 66 career tackles and 2.5 sacks, Leal showed bursts of athleticism and versatility but never fully secured a long-term role. Rookie Jack Sawyer and breakout OLB Eku Leota ultimately pushed him out of contention.
Whether Leal lands back on the Steelers’ practice squad or finds a fresh start elsewhere, the timing of his release will be remembered — not just as a business move, but as a brutal personal moment.
