Bills Re-Sign Left Guard to Anchor Offensive Line

Buffalo, NY – March 25, 2025

The Buffalo Bills have locked in a key piece of their offensive line, re-signing left guard David Edwards to a 2-year, $7 million deal just as he hit free agency, team sources confirmed early Tuesday. The move keeps the 28-year-old Super Bowl champ in Orchard Park, ensuring continuity for a unit tasked with protecting MVP quarterback Josh Allen. With a tight $3.9 million cap space per Spotrac, GM Brandon Beane tapped into savings from Von Miller’s earlier cut to secure Edwards at $3.5 million per year, with $4 million guaranteed—a modest bump from his prior $3 million annual average. “David’s a warrior who knows our system,” Beane said. “He’s earned his spot, and we’re thrilled to keep him.”

Edwards delivered a rock-solid 2024 season at left guard, starting all 17 games and posting a PFF grade of 72.8, per Buffalo Rumblings. He allowed just 2 sacks and 15 pressures across 1,052 snaps, proving his worth as a stabilizer after Connor McGovern shifted to center. Since joining Buffalo in 2023 from the Los Angeles Rams—where he started 45 of 54 games and won Super Bowl LVI—Edwards has tallied 87 career appearances, with 62 starts. His versatility shone early, playing both tackle and guard, but he’s found a home at LG, anchoring a line that paved the way for James Cook’s league-leading 16 rushing TDs in 2024. At 6’6, 308 lbs, his size and technique remain a quiet strength.

For the Bills, Edwards’ return solidifies an offensive line that ranked 8th in pass-blocking efficiency last year, per ESPN, giving Allen the pocket he needs to torch defenses. Fans on X cheered: “Edwards back at LG? O-line’s set—let’s eat!” His presence steadies a unit facing uncertainty with right guard O’Cyrus Torrence’s rookie deal nearing its end, though it ties up cap space that could’ve chased a splashier free agent. For Edwards’ former suitors—like the Rams, who eyed a reunion—his exit closes a door on bolstering their interior line, leaving them to pivot elsewhere. As Buffalo doubles down on its Super Bowl core, Edwards’ re-signing signals stability over flash—a Beane hallmark that might just pay off in January.
