Bills new coach Doug Marrone began retooling his underperforming defense on Monday by releasing two veterans: linebacker Nick Barnett and strong safety George Wilson.

"Moves like the ones we've made today are never easy, but we have to do what's best for our team and keep moving forward," general manager Buddy Nix said in a statement released by the team. "We've got some good young players on our roster, who we feel are ready to take the next step up. And they will now have the opportunity to do so."
