‘The team also announced it will not offer contracts to two of the longest-tenured veterans on the team … receiver Josh Reed and defensive end Ryan Denney.’

‘"I’ve met coach [Gailey] before," Clausen said. "He’s a great guy. We were in there just talking, talking ball, having a lot of fun. I’ve met him before and it was good to see him again."’

‘”We wanted to inform all three players ahead of the start of the free agency period so they could begin making their plans,” general manager Buddy Nix said.’

‘”I would like to thank the great fans in Buffalo, Ralph Wilson & the Bills organization for all their supports this past season,” Owens said on Twitter.’

‘Buffalo had signed Owens last offseason after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys, but the Bills’ passing game did not get off the ground after injuries forced them to play with several different quarterbacks.’

‘Gailey admitted this week that he doesn’t have the find a quarterback to fit his scheme, but will mold a scheme to fit his quarterback. Clausen said this about the subject, “I’ve obviously been in Coach Weis’ system for the past three years. I’m a little familiar with the West Coast system. I don’t know what coach’s system is going to be with the Bills, but I’ve played under center for the past three years under Coach Weis.”‘

‘Reed and Denney were among the longest tenured players on Buffalo’s roster this past year. Both were drafted in 2002 and lasted through multiple regimes.’

‘”All three have represented our organization with class and we thank them for their dedication and hard work.”‘
