The Buffalo Bills are moving into their next major offseason phase in due time: Training camp.
The Bills will kick off their 2025 training camp on July 23 at St. John Fisher University. As with every offseason, Bills Wire will examine each position group ahead of this pivotal time on the football calendar.
Our 2025 offensive line preview can be found below:
At the top
Buffalo’s offensive line will look identical to last year’s starting quintet.
Connor McGovern was tremendous after sliding over to the center position from left guard last year. At the guard position, the Bills will have veteran David Edwards on the left side, accompanied by third-year pro O’Cyrus Torrence. Dion Dawkins will secure Josh Allen’s blind side for the eighth consecutive season, while Spencer Brown holds down the right tackle spot for the fifth year in a row.
Depth chart
Guard Alec Anderson was the Bills’ sixth lineman in jumbo packages in 2024. He ended up playing in approximately 27 percent of Buffalo’s offensive snaps.
Behind McGovern, the Bills have 2024 draft pick Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and UDFA Jacob Bayer.
Along with Anderson, former Houston first-round pick Kendrick Green. Mike Edwards, and Rush Reimer follow at the guard position.
Tylan Grable, Ryan van Demark, Richard Gouraige, Chase Lundt, and Travis Clayton round out the tackle position.
The depth at the offensive line position could be one of the more interesting position battles to follow this season. Anderson might see some competition from rookie tight end Jackson Hewes in the Bills jumbo packages. In addition, the next man up at tackle will be an intriguing spot to follow.
In 2025…
The Bills offensive line allowed the fewest sacks in 2024, and there’s great optimism that the unit can repeat this feat. The unit gelled quickly, as McGovern took the helm at center seamlessly. Dawkins and Brown are one of the top tackle duos in the league. Meanwhile, the interior line should work well to produce another above-average season for the ground game and protect Josh Allen in the aerial attack.
The major interesting point this season will be who the Bills prioritize as part of their long-term plans on the offensive line. Depending on who makes the final roster, Buffalo could be setting up players for a starting role in 2026. We can look at the case of David Edwards as a litmus test for how the Bills could handle their long-term line concerns. Edwards did not start a game in 2023 but earned full-time starter reps when the left guard position opened up in 2024. This could be help predict who could be a starter in 2026.
