Mike Florio and Chris Simms look at all the key franchise tag decisions around the league and what it could mean once free agency gets going next week.

The Bills announced they have released receiver John Brown and defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson. They still have more trimming to do before the start of the league year.

To that end, the Bills agreed to a restructure of defensive tackle Vernon Butler’s contract, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

There were no details of the restructure.

A day ago, the Bills agreed to do the same with starting center Mitch Morse.

Butler, 26, played 14 games with nine starts in 2020, his first in Buffalo. He made 18 tackles and forced a fumble.
