The Buffalo Bills, like most teams in the NFL, have made plenty of roster moves and changes during the 2026 offseason.
Even so, Bleacher Report named one upgrade all 32 teams in the league could still stand to make this offseason. For Buffalo, it was adding another offensive lineman, former Cleveland Browns guard Joel Bitonio.
The idea comes from Alec Anderson leaving Buffalo earlier this offseason. He signed an offer sheet with the Minnesota Vikings that the Bills did not match.
That leaves Austin Corbett as the likely starter at left guard as David Edwards, the Bills’ starter at left guard in 2025, also left via free agency.
Corbett is a NFL veteran but B/R still thinks Buffalo could upgrade on him in their starting five with Bitonio.
Pro Football Focus graded Corbett the 30th best guard in the NFL in 2025 with a 67.2 overall mark. That’s not far off from Bitonio, who earned a 70.7 PFF grade.
Regardless, B/R’s breakdown on Bitonio and the Bills can be found below:
Buffalo Bills: Sign Joel Bitonio
The Buffalo Bills face uncertainty at left guard after David Edwards departed for the New Orleans Saints in free agency. They may look to replace Edwards through a camp competition involving Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett. However, scooping up free agent Joel Bitonio might make such a competition moot.
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. He wouldn’t give Buffalo a long-term option at left guard, but he’d provide a quality starter for 2026.
