Fitzpatrick On Release: Ryan Fitzpatrick said everyone was caught off guard by the decision to release Trent Edwards. It was difficult since Edwards was well liked in the locker room and harder for him since they were always working so close together over the past two years. It is a harsh business and Fitzpatrick said he has no choice but to throw himself into preparing for this week's game against the Jets.

Gailey On Release: Chan Gailey spoke to the media this afternoon and said Trent Edwards gave them everything they had but they just felt they weren't going back in that direction. They want to get a better look at Brian Brohm. They have yet to decide whether or not they will go to a third quarterback but he did say Levi Brown is an option they will consider. He called Edwards a fine young man who did not indicate he wants to move on. Brohm hasn't proven he's the backup but they feel he has a chance and they want to give him the opportunity to prove it. Gailey said Edwards handled the release professionally but was disappointed. The coach understands it was a fast progression from starting quarterback to release but he felt things were close all along and it wasn't an easy decision.

Bills Release Edwards: In a surprising move the Bills have released Trent Edwards. Chan Gailey will address the media later today to discuss the reason for the release. Ryan Fitzpatrick asserted himself as the starter with his good performance yesterday but Edwards did give them valuable depth at the position. There was talk the team was trying to trade him but there likely was no market for that. He will remain on waivers until tomorrow afternoon and will then become a free agent if he isn't claimed. Reports say the Bills will fill his spot by re-signing Levi Brown. He was released at the end of training camp and surprisingly wasn't put on the practice squad or signed by another team.

Kelsay Close To Extension: The Buffalo News is reporting that Chris Kelsay is close to a contract extension with the team. He is in the final year of his four year deal signed in 2007. That deal was worth $5.75 Million a year. The coaching staff is pleased with his conversion to outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense. The extension could be in the $24 Million range according to the report but the length of the deal is unclear at this point. The deal could be completed within a week.
