PITTSFORD, N.Y. (Aug. 7, 2006) -- The Buffalo Bills released linebacker Jeff Posey after the eight-year veteran lost his starting job to Angelo Crowell.

Posey was a three-year starter with Buffalo since joining the Bills as a free agent in 2003, registering 202 tackles, 9 1/2 sacks and an interception in 48 games.

His release didn't come as a big surprise after he was demoted during spring minicamps following Crowell's emergence. Posey's practice time remained limited during the first nine days of camp.

"We just felt it was in his best interest and our best interest to make this move early," coach Dick Jauron said. "He's got an opportunity, and he will catch on somewhere."
