How far has Aaron Maybin’s stock fallen since he was taken No. 11 overall in the 2009 draft?

The Bills tried to trade him recently for absolutely anything, and they found no takers. So the team will release him Monday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

We know Maybin has fallen a long way because none of this comes as a surprise.

Maybin came into the league as a defensive end, but he showed up to training camp this year at 228 pounds. He was taken by the previous regime in Buffalo, and the new staff had no use for him in a 3-4 defense.

The Bills took Maybin two picks ahead of Redskins defensive end Brian Orakpo and three picks ahead of Saints safety Malcom Jenkins.

The Penn State product will now be subject to waivers.

UPDATE: The Bills quickly confirmed the move.
