‘The Buffalo Bills released defensive tackle Sam Adams, safety Lawyer Milloy and tight end Mark Campbell Wednesday.’

Though the moves were influenced by the salary cap, Levy added that there were other issues involved in the decision to release the three starters. “The style of offense and defense we will be running were factored in,” he said. “We know you can’t have everybody on your team that you’d like to have.”

‘ESPN’s John Clayton also spoke to WGR and said that negotiations had been on going for several weeks to reduce Adams’ salary, though the 12-year veteran would have none of it.’

‘In this installment of our look at the free agent options for the Bills we will focus on offense. Defense will be addressed in part two posted Thursday afternoon.’

His release saves the Bills $3.5 million of cap room.

‘Defensive line is one of the Bills’ biggest needs, and Ngata (pronounced nah-ta) is one of the best in the draft. Only North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams is rated higher among D-linemen by scouts.’

‘"It’s one of the most difficult times we’ve had," said Overdorf. "Considering the labor peace we’ve had, it’s the most chaotic it’s been. That might not be the proper word to use, but it’s the only word I can think of off the top of my head."’
