The Buffalo Bills released second-year passer Nathan Peterman on Monday night heading into their bye week, ending the saga of one of the biggest punchlines from the past several years. The former fifth round pick will head to the waiver wire, and if he clears waivers the team could conceivably opt to roster him on the practice squad.
Peterman, billed as a pro-ready passer with a lack of arm strength, impressed Bills coaches early in his career. He had a solid preseason debut, and with Tyrod Taylor scuffling, Sean McDermott gave Peterman a shot at the end of a blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints.
