Coaches realize the error of their ways - Jerry Sullivan - The Buffalo News

Again, unless there's more to the story, it looks like either general manager Buddy Nix and Gailey -- the men dispirited Bills fans are desperate to believe in -- thoroughly bungled the most important position on the field, or impetuous owner Ralph Wilson ordered them to dump an experienced NFL quarterback.

For the record, the Bills don’t have to pay Edwards his full salary because he has less than four years’ experience. The Bills payed him for three games, or $291,176. He would have made $1.65 million. So his release saved $1.35 million, or a little less than $1 million, depending on who replaces him on the 53-man roster.
