    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bills release DT Adams, S Milloy to save cap spaceAssociated PressORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Defensive tackle Sam Adams was one of three players released by the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday in a significant salary-cap purge.Safety Lawyer Milloy and tight end Mark Campbell also were released in moves that saved the Bills an estimated $9.1 million in salary cap space. The team has not determined whether to release veteran receiver Eric Moulds, who rejected the Bills' offer to restructure his contract earlier this week.The cuts occurred prior to the start of the NFL free-agency period on Friday."It's that time of the year where all teams are involved in making some, to a degree, painful decisions,'' general manager Marv Levy said.Levy said the team still wants Moulds to return, but the moves were not specifically made in order to help fit his $10.85 million salary cap number in under the estimated $95 million cap figure."It goes beyond just the Eric Moulds situation,'' Levy said. "We hope something can be worked out with him. We'd like to keep him and we'll continue to make our efforts to do so.''Though the moves were influenced by the salary cap, Levy added that there were other issues involved in the decision to release the three starters."The style of offense and defense we will be running were factored in,'' he said. "We know you can't have everybody on your team that you'd like to have.''Adams is a 12-year veteran and three-time Pro Bowl selection who was entering the final year of his contract since joining the Bills in 2003. He was scheduled to make a base salary of $2 million with a roster bonus of $750,000 due Friday. The move saves the Bills $3.5 million in salary-cap money.</div>

    I don't think Big Sam will have any trouble finding work.

    They are sure cleaning house, I wouldn't mind seeing Milloy back in a Patriots jersey but that's just me dreaming.

    Man, I dont really care about the release of Adams and Campbell provided we get a DT to replace him, but I hate to see Milloy go. He is prolly going to be too slow to fir the cover 2 scheme we are going to be switching too. But even with that said Milloy is such a leader back there. I have no Idea what the Bills are doing but I sure hope they spend this money properly.

    Their all old now though. Campbell wasn't much of a help anyway, Adams is a great DT, but he is getting up on age, and Milloy is what 36? His career is gone soon. This might be some good moves if they can get this talent back (somehow) in the draft. I don't think there is enough talent in the draft to match those 2.
