Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that the Bills and starting right guard O’Cyrus Torrence have mutual interest in negotiating a contract extension rather than letting his rookie deal run out.
- Torrence has started every game since being drafted in 2023 and led Buffalo offensive linemen in snap share each season with yearly playing time between roughly 93% and 100%.
- Spotrac projects a three-year, $39 million deal (about $13.1 million per year) as a market estimate while analytics site Pro Football Focus rates Torrence around average, creating a split over his fair price.
- OverTheCap shows Buffalo with about $9.7 million in short-term cap room, and general manager Brandon Beane’s history of completing extensions just before or early in the season suggests the team may delay finalizing terms until camp or later.
- Keeping Torrence would lock in most of Buffalo’s starting offensive line after the departure of left guard David Edwards, which would help protect Josh Allen and narrow the team’s remaining interior-line questions heading into training camp.
