Buffalo Bills sign Michael Buchanan, release Spencer Roth

The third-year pro is a versatile athlete with special teams experience, and offers upside as a reserve pass rusher in Buffalo.

The Buffalo Bills' spring roster tinkering continues, with the team announcing the signing of free agent edge defender Michael Buchanan on Tuesday morning. Rookie punter Spencer Roth was released to make room for Buchanan on the 90-man roster.

Buchanan, 24, was a 2013 seventh-round pick out of Illinois that played a limited number of snaps for Bill Belichick in his rookie season, recording two sacks along the way. He also carved out a fairly significant role for himself on special teams.
