The Buffalo Bills released safety Mike Edwards after failing in a bid to trade him before the NFL's deadline. The offseason free-agent addition requested to be traded a few weeks ago for his lack of playing time. Edwards appeared in just three games for Buffalo this season, while being inactive the past four. Edwards is a two-time Super Bowl winner and expected to take over one of Buffalo's starting jobs this year. A series of injuries relegated him to a backup role behind starters Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin. Buffalo also placed edge rusher Dawuane Smoot on injured reserve after he hurt his wrist on Sunday.
