The gale-force winds that slammed the Buffalo area Wednesday were symbolic of the change that is blowing through the Bills' roster this week.
While quarterback Tyrod Taylor remains with the team on a restructured contract, the Bills released four veteran players who contributed in recent seasons -- safety Aaron Williams, wide receiver Marcus Easley, cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman and kicker Dan Carpenter. They have also allowed cornerback Stephon Gilmore (Patriots), as well as wide receivers Robert Woods (Rams) and Marquise Goodwin (49ers) to leave in free agency.
