No surprises so far. Sternberger, a very talented TE, failed to elevate himself ahead of Kevin Rader and Connor Heyward for the third tight end spot. Carter wasn't all that impressive in his short stint with the team. The same can be said for Stephens, as all three of these guys were expected as obvious cuts
