C.J. Gardner-Johnson's spitting incident is his final act with Bills as Buffalo releases veteran safety

The Bills are the AFC's best team, by record, but they are cutting ties with a starter just seven games into the season. Buffalo released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, just as his one-game suspension for spitting in the direction of an opposing player was ending. The veteran started his first six games with the Bills before sitting out against the Ravens while suspended. Gardner-Johnson could've returned for Week 8, but Buffalo is going in a different direction with its secondary.
