“While Bitonio will turn 35 in October, he’s a seven-time Pro Bowler who started all 17 games for the Cleveland Browns this past season,” Knox wrote. “He wouldn’t give Buffalo a long-term option at left guard, but he’d provide a quality starter for 2026.”
The Bills have already made some other investments in their offense this offseason, trading for wide receiver DJ Moore and drafting wide receiver Skyler Bell. The Bills are returning largely the same backfield.
The team has been known to make some late additions in the offseason, often adding veteran players closer to the start of training camp.
Offensive Line a Strength for the Bills
The Bills put together one of the league’s most effective offensive lines in recent seasons, with the unit keeping Allen protected and last year paving the way for running back James Cook to earn the league rushing title.
ESPN ranked Buffalo’s unit as the No. 4 line in the league, with USA Today’s Nick Wojton noting that the team’s guards are leading the way.
“In the team-by-team comparison, the Bills are led by their tackles,” Wojton wrote. “Buffalo’s edge blockers of Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins have ratings of 7.6 and 7.9, respectively, the highest on the team.”
But the Bills still have some question marks in the middle of their line, with Corbett seen as the weakest link, Wojton added.
“Overall, the only player that drags down the Bills’ rating is the newly signed Austin Corbett,” Wojton wrote. “He signed in Buffalo as a free agent this offseason to fill a hole at the guard position. His grade on ESPN’s ratings is only a 4.0. On the field, it remains to be seen if Corbett and build chemistry and thrive with his new teammates on the offensive line.”
