The Buffalo Bills have released cornerback Drayton Florence.
The news first broke on Twitter from ProFootballTalk’s feed and soon thereafter was confirmed by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Florence, 31, was a member of the Bills for three full seasons, but 2011 was by far the worst year of his tenure in Buffalo.
Opposing quarterbacks had a 103 QB rating when throwing at Florence last season, and he was flagged for a handful of critical pass interference calls.
He totalled seven interceptions with the Bills, none bigger than his memorable pick-six against the New England Patriots last September.
Bills fans will never forget that moment.
A newly crowded secondary and $4 million in base salary in 2012 were probably the two main reasons Florence was let go.
Leodis McKelvin can now breathe easy.
Love the Bills. Love writing. David Nelson jersey owner. Attempting to gather as much 1990s Bills apparel as possible—waiting on the next installment of the "glory years" in the meantime. Not superstitious, but a little stitious, especially on Bills' game days. Proud owner of 45-yard-line season tickets in the front row of the upper deck. Admirer of Fred Jackson's perseverance, Kyle Williams' determination and the way Marcell Dareus moves that 340-pound body. Touchy on Stevie Johnson, but love the swag. Let's talk Bills.
