Bills released DL Lionel Dotson. Dotson was owed just $700,000, but Buffalo didn't deem him talented enough to keep around with younger players possessing more upside on the roster.

Bills signed DE Lionel Dotson off their practice squad. Dotson, a former seventh-round pick of the Dolphins, is up to provide some girth along the Bills' decimated line. Marcell Dareus is going to have to play exclusively at nose tackle going forward with Torell Troup (back) and Kyle Williams (foot) on injured reserve.

Bills claimed DE Lionel Dotson off waivers from the Dolphins. Defensive coordinator George Edwards is likely behind the move. He coached Dotson in Miami from 2008-2009. The former seventh-rounder isn't a great be to make the final roster.
