The Buffalo Bills are entering a new era. For the first time since Josh Allen was drafted, the Bills have a new head coach. Luckily, it’s someone who has familiarity with Allen, as former OC Joe Brady will now lead the charge for a new era of Bills football.

Buffalo is well-positioned to make yet another run despite the turnover, with new faces like D.J. Moore and Bradley Chubb. Of course, Josh Allen is still under center, and there is one move left to make that could help ensure that stays the way for years to come.

Bills key offseason additions

  • WR D.J. Moore.
  • EDGE Bradley Chubb.
  • S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.

ESPN urges the Bills to extend guard O’Cyrus Torrence

The Bills don’t have too many major contracts ending after the 2026 season, but it would be good to keep their offensive line continuity by re-upping Torrence. He is far from the best guard in the league, but last season he was above average in ESPN’s pass block win rate (93.3%, 25th) and run block win rate (74.1%, 13th) metrics. He’s also just 26 years old, so he’s right in his prime. – Aaron Schatz, ESPN

Torrence fell to the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he’s quickly turned into one of the steals in that draft. He’s played every game of his NFL career and started all but one, showing his durability but also his prowess.

At 6-5 and close to 350 pounds, there were a lot of concerns when Torrence came out of Florida, and they were mostly related to athleticism. He went to the NFL Combine and ran a 5.31 in the 40-yard dash, and most pegged him as a stout guard without the ability to move laterally.

But Torrence has shown that testing numbers and actual games are entirely different stories. He has been integral in the breakout of running back James Cook, and beyond that, he’s one of the better protectors for Josh Allen.

Extending him is a no-brainer for the Bills.
