The decision by the Bills ends a lengthy waiting period for the team and Wood.

By waiting until Thursday, the Bills limited the effect the player�s remaining bonus money will have on their salary cap. The more than $10 million in bonus money owed to Wood will now only count against the team�s salary cap this year rather than be spread over the two years left on the contract.

Wood declined to comment on being released by the Bills in a text to The AP. Wood did say he�s planning to attend Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly�s annual charitable auction and golf tournament in Buffalo this weekend.

Aside from Wood, Buffalo�s offensive line must also replace starting left guard Richie Incognito, who abruptly retired in April and was then released by the Bills earlier this month.
