The Bills announced the release of linebacker A.J. Klein on Thursday.
It was an expected move to clear salary-cap space.
The Bills save close to $5.2-million against the cap with a very small dead money figure of $400,000.
Klein was about to start the last of a three-year $18-million contract.
Klein has been a valuable depth player for Buffalo, raising his game when starters have been out due to injury.
He appeared in 31 games over the past two seasons starting 15 of them.
