It’s not often that talented pass rushers are released in the middle of training camp, but that’s exactly what Buffalo is set to do with two time Pro Bowl defensive end Aaron Schobel.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bills will let Schobel walk from his current contract this morning, despite a need for playmakers on their defense.

Schobel finished the 2009 campaign with 56 total tackles, 10 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one interception, likely making him a hot commodity on the market if he chooses to return to the game rather than retire as he has contemplated doing throughout the off-season.

Schobel is a native of Houston, and would almost certainly accept a contract with his home town team if they chose to offer him one. Other teams that will likely be interested in acquiring his services include Kansas City, Oakland, Detroit, Seattle, and St. Louis.
