Ryan Van Demark will move on from the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills have decided to not match the offer sheet the Minnesota Vikings signed Van Demark too this past week worth $4.2 million. Buffalo had previously placed an original round tender on Van Demark worth $3.52 million
The Bills had five days to match the Vikings’ offer. Buffalo opted not to, which means Van Demark departs to Minnesota:
Van Demark has played 43 games for the Bills since 2022 after going undrafted during the 2022 NFL draft. Last season, Van Demark appeared in all 17 games for Buffalo and made four starts.
For his efforts in 2025, Pro Football Focus graded Van Demark a promising 74.4 overall grade.
