Bills Release A.J. Klein Tuesday
The Buffalo Bills released linebacker A.J. Klein on Tuesday. Klein had a disappointing season in 2021 after posting a career-high 75 tackles and five sacks in 2020 in his first year with the team. The 30-year-old had just 35 tackles last season and didn't have a single sack for the first time since 2014. The release will save Buffalo just over $5 million in salary cap space for the 2022 season. In nine NFL seasons, Klein has 449 tackles (307 solo), 43 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, four interceptions, 20 passes defensed, eight forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and 15.5 sacks in 134 games (80 starts) for the Bills, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. He was a fifth-round pick by the Panthers back in 2013 out of Iowa State.
