'Bills general manager Doug Whaley said that "releasing Karlos Williams was strictly performance based. He came in behind the eight ball and never caught up and there was other guys on the roster that moved ahead of him. So in light of that, we thought, why hold on to him? Why don't we give him a chance to maybe find another job out there in the league? We weren't going to hold onto him until then knowing he wasn't going to make the team."'
