The Facts: The Bills have released Trent Edwards in a surprise move that came a week after he lost the starting job for a second straight season. The team announced the move in a two-paragraph release Monday, a day after Ryan Fitzpatrick provided the offense with a spark in a 38-30 loss at New England.
Diehards Line:Edwards was in his fourth season in Buffalo after being selected by the team in the third round of the 2007 draft out of Stanford. He went 14-18 as a starter, including 0-2 this season. He was benched a day following a 34-7 loss at Green Bay on Sept. 19 after going 11 of 18 for 102 yards and two interceptions. Brian Brohm is the other quarterback on the roster.
