Bills cut Nick Barnett, save $3-plus million
Nick Barnett - LB - Buffalo Bills
Feb. 11, 2013 - 2:00 PM ET
Bills released WLB Nick Barnett.
The move clears Barnett's $3.5 million base salary off the books and frees up just over $3 million in cap room. Barnett turns 32 in May, but graded out as a top-ten 4-3 outside linebacker in Pro Football Focus' 2012 ratings and should have some gas left in the tank. He's also "scheme versatile," having played in both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes. We suspect Barnett will find a starting job in 2013.
