ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills released punter Sam Martin in their first offseason move to free up salary cap space before the NFL's new business year opens next week. The 35-year-old Martin had one year left on his contract, and his release saves Buffalo approximately $2 million in salary cap space. The Bills are still projected to be about $8.5 million over the cap, meaning they still have a few more moves to make by either cutting or restructuring contracts to get under the limit.
