The Buffalo Bills<\/a> have re-signed<\/a> offensive lineman Alec Anderson to a one-year, $3 million contract, reinforcing protection for quarterback Josh Allen<\/a> as the team enters the offseason.<\/p>\n

NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport reported the agreement Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe #Bills have re-signed key reserve OL Alec Anderson, who played in every game last year and started six times over two seasons, per agent Sam Leaf Ireifej.<\/p>\n

He gets a 1-year, $3M deal with $1.8M guaranteed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson appeared in all 17 games last season, providing depth and versatility along Buffalo\u2019s offensive line. Over the past two seasons, he has made six starts while serving primarily as a reserve. His return offers continuity up front for Allen, who remains the centerpiece of the Bills\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

Buffalo\u2019s 2025 campaign ended in disappointment. The Bills finished 12-5 but fell short of a division title behind the eventual AFC champion New England Patriots<\/a>. Buffalo was eliminated in the AFC Divisional Round<\/a> last month, losing to the Denver Broncos in overtime.<\/p>\n

Re-signing Anderson represents an early step in stabilizing the roster following that postseason exit. Maintaining offensive line depth has been a priority for Buffalo as it seeks to maximize Allen\u2019s production and durability moving forward.<\/p>\n

The Bills will now shift focus toward the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>, scheduled for April 23\u201325 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as they look to build on a playoff season and return to contention in the AFC.<\/p>\n
