The Buffalo Bills have released veteran safety Mike Edwards after he requested to be traded or let go. During his short tenure with the Bills, Edwards, who signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract, saw minimal playing time, managing only seven defensive snaps this season. Previously a key player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs, where he won two Super Bowl championships, Edwards struggled to find a role in Buffalo's defense, which leaned on Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp. Following Edwards' departure, the Bills are expected to explore the trade market for a more impactful safety, with potential targets like Tyrann Mathieu and Grant Delpit being mentioned. Edwards' release comes as the Bills seek to strengthen their secondary after parting with longtime starters Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde earlier in the offseason. Given his experience and past success, Edwards is likely to attract interest from teams looking for depth in their safety positions.
