Bills RT Butler retired after four NFL seasons
At the age 26 and just finishing four NFL seasons, the Buffalo Bills right tackle Brad Butler decided to say goodbye to the football career. As a major in government studies at Virginia, the young man thinks his life should be spent in other area.
“My passion for education, country and community is something that I am ready to devote my full attention to,” he said in a statement released by the team on Thursday. “I believe the best way to pursue these spheres of interest is to step away from the game of football at this point in my life.”
Butler’s NFL career began in 2006 when he was drafted by the Bills in the fifth round. Wearing the No. 60 Bills jersey, Butler started all but two of the 33 games he played for the team, with only two games being played in 2009 as he sustained a serious knee injury in Week 2 while playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

TE Klopfenstein rejoined Bills two weeks after being released
The 4-8 Buffalo Bills took action to improve the defense by re-signing tight end Joe Klopfenstein and releasing defensive tackle Corey Mace on Monday, and they are not much more confident to prepare for this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
In his fourth year of wearing pro NFL jersey, Klopfenstein signed with the Bills originally on Nov. 18. But the following weekend he was listed as inactive for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and was released after the game. By signing the defensive end back, the Bills now have three healthy tight ends to play against the Chiefs this weekend.
As for Mace, he has totally only appeared in two games for the Bills for this season. The last one was the game against the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago, and he contributed only an interception to the Bills’ 31-14 victory.

Bills QB Edwards is questionable for Sunday game at Carolina
The Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards sustained the second concussion of his NFL career during Sunday’s 16-13 overtime win over the New York Jets. After the game he was healthy enough to travel home with the team, but he still needs further evaluation to see if he will be able to play this weekend’s game against the Panthers at Caroline.
According to Coach Dick Jauron, the team will take Edwards’ injury day to day and see how he comes out of it. He personally hopes the quarterback will be healthy soon. If Edwards will be unable to play, Ryan Fitzpatrick will probably take over his job after going 10 of 25 for 116 yards and a touchdown in rallying Buffalo (2-4) to victory.
Edwards was hurt when he was sacked while sandwiched between defenders in Jets jerseys: David Harris and Calvin Pace, who drove him backward into the turf. Jauron confirmed after the game that Edwards suffered a concussion. The last time when Edwards suffered a concussion was on Oct. 5 when the Bills was playing against the Cardinals.
