‘Thursday’s release comes after the Bills failed to find a trade partners after Beasley was allowed to seek a trade. The 32-year-old is now free to sign as an unrestricted free agent.’

‘Then there’s the obvious trickle down effect. Miller’s presence will make so many other players better. If you have to worry about Miller so much that makes life better for guys like Ed Oliver to be even more disruptive in the middle of the line. How about ends like Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham? They can be more effective when teams are paying more attention to Miller.’

‘Miller, 32, leads all active NFL players in career sacks with 115.5. He’s an eight-time Pro Bowler, a three-time All Pro, and has won two Super Bowl championships, including this past season with the Los Angeles Rams. He was also named Super Bowl 50 MVP while a member of the Denver Broncos.’

‘Schefter added some background to McKissic’s decision, saying that Washington didn’t initially offer him a deal until he agreed to one in Buffalo, per his agents. Once McKissic heard Washington was willing to match the offer, he didn’t want to leave.’

‘McKissic started his career with the Atlanta Falcons in 2016 after he went undrafted out of Arkansas State. He has also made stops in his career with the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions before spending the past two seasons in Washington.’

‘The 26-year-old joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Alabama in 2018. Originally on the practice squad, he was signed to the active roster, started immediately and never looked back. He played in 52 career games, starting every one of them.’

‘Compensatory picks are awarded based on a formula that includes a team having to lose more free agents than they sign the offseason prior, as well as other factors.’

‘Garafolo also reports the extension for Morse is worth $19.5 million, with $12 million guaranteed. This would increase the 29-year-old’s pay from $8.5 million to $11.25 million per-year.’

‘Saffold entered the league as a second round pick by the Rams in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Indiana University. He’s played in 160 games, starting 157 of them. He’s been reliable and available, missing only five games in the past six seasons, playing in 92 of a possible 97 over that time.’

‘Jones, who is originally from Johnson City, New York just outside Binghamton, played seven seasons for the Tennessee Titans before signing as a free agent with the Panthers prior to last season.’

‘Settle is a one-technique tackle, which would make him a depth piece either behind Star Lotulelei or replacing Harrison Phillips, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.’

‘With Phillips departing Buffalo, that leaves Star Lotulelei and Ed Oliver as the team’s top-two defensive tackles heading into the 2022 season.’

‘Williams joined the Bills for the 2020 and started every single game for the team in his two years with Buffalo. Williams ended up winning the starting job at right tackle for the 2020 season, but struggled at the start of the 2021 season, eventually being moved inside to right guard.’

‘The 27-year-old was drafted by the Bears with the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Over the course of his career, Trubisky has gone 29-21, with all of those starts in Chicago.’

‘The 26-year-old McKenzie went into the year as the team’s primary kick and punt returner, but was used sparingly on offense. That was a head-scratcher for a lot of fans and media, considering the versatility he can bring.’
