Bills cut Mario Williams; place franchise tag on Glenn (Yahoo Sports)

High-priced defensive end Mario Williams is out in Buffalo, while the Bills aren't giving up on re-signing left tackle Cordy Glenn. The Bills released Williams and retained the rights to Glenn by designating him their franchise player on Tuesday in a series of moves made a week before the NFL's free-agency period opens. By releasing Williams, the salary cap-strapped Bills freed up nearly $13 million in payroll next season.
