Bills grant Mike Edwards his release, barring a last-minute trade

Mike Edwards asked the Bills to release him and they will do so, barring a late trade before the deadline

Buffalo Bills safety Mike Edwards has only played seven defensive snaps this season, so he’s looking for an opportunity elsewhere. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Edwards has asked the Bills to release him and the team is granting him that.

Buffalo will waive the veteran safety unless the team is able to make a last-minute trade before the 4 p.m. ET deadline. So either way, Edwards’ tenure with the Bills is coming to an end.

After playing all 17 games and starting five last season with the Chiefs, Edwards signed with the Bills this offseason. His role has been non-existent, however, playing only three games and making just one tackle.
