The Buffalo Bills release DE Aaron Schobel

The Bills have released 32-year old DE Aaron Schobel.  Schobel played in 16 games for the Bills last season and he had 56 tackles, 10 sacks, 7 tackles for a loss, 1 interception (returned 26 yards for a TD), he forced 3 fumbles and he recovered 1 fumble.  Schobel played in 133 games in his 9 years with the Bills and he had 483 tackles, 28 passes defensed, 78 sacks, 19 forced fumbles and he had 3 interceptions.  Schobel is #2 on the Bills’ all-time list in sacks with 78.  He was behind only Bruce Smith who had a simply amazing 171 sacks in his career with the Bills.  Schobel was threatening retirement but I think he just wanted out of Buffalo.  This is a huge blow to the Bills.
