The Bills today released running back Antowain Smith. Smith was the team’s first-round draft choice in 1997 and put together his most productive season in 1998 when he rushed for 1,124 yards as the starting running back. He started 11 games in 1999 and saw limited action last season, rushing for 354 yards.
"We liked what we saw in mini-camp from our young running backs and want to give them every opportunity possible," said Bills President/General Manager Tom Donahoe. "We have also added Larry Centers to our backfield and feel confident about the attributes he brings to our club."
