Bills Release Barnes, Sign McIntyre

By WKBW Sports

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo Bills shuffled fullbacks
Tuesday by signing Corey McIntyre and releasing Darian Barnes.
McIntyre, an unsigned free agent with three years of NFL
experience, spent last season with Atlanta before his September
release. He also played with Cleveland and New Orleans, and is
regarded as a capable blocker and special teams player.
The moves come as the undefeated Bills (4-0) prepare to play at
Arizona (2-2) on Sunday, Buffalo's final game before its bye week.
Barnes' release comes after he sprained his right foot in
Buffalo's 24-23 win over Oakland on Sept. 21 and missed last
weekend's game at St. Louis.
The lone fullback on the Bills' roster, Barnes is a seven-year
NFL veteran who was in his first season with Buffalo. He had two
catches for 34 yards this season and was used as a lead blocker for
running backs Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson.
The Bills have reintroduced the fullback position in their
offense this season under first-year coordinator Turk Schonert.
