BUFFALO, N.Y. -- After signing three defensive tackles in free agency, the Bills announced Friday the release of veteran defensive tackle Star Lotulelei.
Lotulelei, 32, signed a five-year, $50 million contract with the Bills in 2018. That contract was restructured in 2020 to save Buffalo salary-cap room. Ultimately, the writing was on the wall for the end of Lotulelei's time with the Bills.
The Bills elected not to designate as a post-June 1 release, a league source told ESPN, which would have resulted in less dead cap but would have delayed the savings.
