The Buffalo Bills have parted ways with a veteran defensive back who won a Super Bowl ring earlier in his career, cutting him just one game after he returned from a league suspension, according to Yahoo Sports.
The move comes shortly after the player served a one-game suspension for spitting, as reported by Sporting News. His release arrives only eight weeks into the current season, a surprisingly quick end to his tenure with the team.
Both outlets describe the decision as unexpected given the player's championship pedigree and experience in the league. The Bills had just come off a Week 8 win when the roster move was announced.
Neither source detailed the specific plans the Bills have to fill the roster spot, but the timing underscores how quickly teams are willing to move on even from accomplished veterans mid-season.
