Bills release Edwards

The Bills did not give any reason for their decision, but said in a statement head coach Chan Gailey would discuss the issue at his regular Monday news conference.

The 26-year-old Edwards was selected by the Bulls in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft but has struggled with injuries and consistency.

He completed 29 of 52 passes with one touchdown and two interceptions this season.

Edwards was demoted to the bench after the Bills lost their opening two games this season. They lost again, 38-30 to the New England Patriots, on Sunday.
