BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Offensive lineman Mike Williams was released by the Bills on Thursday, ending a disappointing four-year tenure in Buffalo for the former No. 4 draft pick.
The move allows the Bills to save more than $3 million in salary cap space for next season. Williams had two years left on his contract, was due a $3 million roster bonus in July and was scheduled to count about $10.8 million against the cap next season.
"Salary cap issues certainly fit into that," general manager Marv Levy told Buffalo's WIVB-TV, while attending the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. "There's some difficult decisions that have to be made and we would like to address them early if we can. ... It's never fun to release a player."
