Bills Release QB Trent Edwards

The Buffalo Bills announced the release of quarterback Trent Edwards.

Edwards has struggled as the starting quarterback this season, completing 29-of-52 pass attempts for 241 yards with a touchdown and pair interceptions for a 58.3 passer rating as the Bills opened the regular season 0-2.

Bills head coach Chan Gailey replaced Edwards with Ryan Fitzpatrick for Sunday's 38-30 loss to the New England Patriots.

A 2007 third-round pick (92nd overall) out of Stanford, Edwards (6-4, 231) has started 32 of his 34 NFL games, completing 60.9% of his 878 pass attempts for 5,739 yards, with 25 touchdowns and 27 interceptions for a career passer rating of 76.8.

Edwards turns 27 on October 30, and had been earning a $1.65 million base salary in the final year of his rookie contract.
