Bills DE Dwan Edwards is a candidate to be released this offseason.

Edwards isn't a good fit for the new 4-3 defense, and coordinator Dave Wannstedt indicated Thursday that he doesn't want situational players. Grading out well below average as a run defender, according to Pro Football Focus, Edwards isn't worth his $3.8 million salary.

Dwan Edwards is expected to retain his starting defensive end job despite the arrival of No. 3 overall pick Marcell Dareus.

Dareus and Edwards will start as the ends with Kyle Williams holding down the nose in the 3-4. The Bills figure to be better against the run this year after ranking dead last in that category a year ago.

Bills placed DE Dwan Edwards (hamstring) on injured reserve, ending his season.

The details aren't in yet, but coach Chan Gailey was expecting to find out that the hamstring was torn. With only five weeks left, the Bills opted to pull the plug on Edwards' season. The 29-year-old is due $2.6 million in 2011.

Bills coach Chan Gailey indicated that Dwan Edwards' hamstring injury will keep the defensive end out indefinitely.

Edwards will likely undergo testing today, but Gailey is expecting the worst. "Not good. Not good," said Gailey. Already without Spencer Johnson (hamstring), the Bills may have to hit the wire for an end. Edwards has 57 tackles and a sack while playing in every game so far this season.

Bills DL Dwan Edwards was shaken up early in Sunday's Week 12 game against the Steelers.

Trainers were checking out Edwards' left leg, and he ended up limping off with a hamstring injury. He's officially doubtful to return. Spencer Johnson is inactive this week, so the Bills are thin up front.

Dwan Edwards opened Tuesday's OTAs as a starting defensive end ahead of Spencer Johnson.

Marcus Stroud manned the other end spot, with Kyle Williams at nose tackle. Edwards failed physicals for other teams before signing, but he insists he's perfectly healthy. Johnson will be pushed into a rotational lineman role this year.
