Bills cut safety CJ Gardner-Johnson as trade deadline approaches

The Bills are at 6-1 atop a wide open AFC. The elusive top seed in the AFC is well within their reach. As this show was recording, the Bills released safety CJ Gardner-Johnson who had just served a one game suspension for spitting at an opponent in the Raiders game.
