Buffalo released linebacker Jeff Posey on Monday 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.
