05:18 PM ET 02.11 | With a new coaching staff in place, the Buffalo Bills are set to make two surprising moves. The franchise will release linebacker Nick Barnett and safety George Wilson, Buffalo's two leading tacklers in 2012. The moves will free up $6.4 million in 2013. Barnett, a 10-year veteran out of Oregon State, spent the last two seasons in Buffalo. In 2012, he compiled 112 tackles to go along with five tackles for loss, three pass breakups and two sacks. After receiving the news from the Bills, he tweeted his appreciation for his time with the franchise.
