The Buffalo Bills have been remarkably stable along the offensive line of late. Since the 2021 season, all five of their linemen have made at least 13 starts together. Most of their linemen have been exceptionally consistent, but they\u2019ve also been exceptionally healthy. OVer the last two season,s their interior offensive line has been particularly healthy, as the trio of David Edwards, Connor McGovern, and O\u2019Cyrus Torrence combined to start nearly every game.<\/p>\n
With Edwards gone, having signed this offseason with the New Orleans Saints, Buffalo is charged with finding his replacement in the starting lineup. The team has no shortage of possible solutions, but finding a replacement for someone so consistent will be a challenge.<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s edition of \u201c91 players in 91 days,\u201d we discuss one of the players vying for a roster spot\u2014and, possibly, starting spot\u2014this season.
_____________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n
Name: Ar\u2019Maj Reed-Adams<\/p>\n
Height\/Weight: 6\u20195\u201d 314 lbs.<\/p>\n
Age: 24 (25 on 11\/4\/2026)<\/p>\n
Experience\/Draft: R; selected by Buffalo in the seventh round (No. 241 overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n
Acquired: Seventh-round draft choice<\/p>\n
Financial situation (per Spotrac): Reed-Adams signed a four-year rookie contract worth $4,509,752 overall. For the 2026 season, he carries a cap hit of $917,438 if he makes the 53-man roster. Buffalo will carry a dead cap charge equal to the signing bonus on the contract if Reed-Adams is released. That figure is $129,752.<\/p>\n
2025 Recap: Entering his sixth season of NCAA eligibility, Reed-Adams was named a preseason First-Team All-American by the Associated Press. He was also voted First-Team All-SEC and named a Walter Camp PReseason All-American. Then, he backed up that hype by having a stellar season for the Aggies, starting 12 of 13 games at right guard and earning Second-Team All-American honors from the AP. He was also named a team captain. For his efforts, he earned an invite to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, where he ran the forty-yard dash in 5.28 seconds, leapt 29.5\u201d in the vertical jump and 9\u20192\u201d in the broad jump, and ran the three-cone drill in 7.88 seconds. While he did not do the bench press at the Combine, he did complete that workout at A&M\u2019s pro day, where he put up 25 reps of 225 lbs. He redid the three-cone drill, as well, completing it in 7.72 seconds.<\/p>\n
Positional outlook: Reed-Adams is one of three players listed solely at guard, with O\u2019Cyrus Torrence and Nick Broeker the others. Tylan Grable and Jude Bowry are listed at tackle\/guard, while Austin Corbett, Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Connor McGovern, and Alec Anderson are listed at center\/guard.<\/p>\n
2026 Offseason: Reed-Adams is healthy, and he participated in offseason work before the team went on a pre-camp break.<\/p>\n
2026 Season outlook: The interior offensive line is where the change is this season, at least on a line group that was fairly static for the last few seasons. With starter David Edwards having moved on, there is an opening at left guard. O\u2019Cyrus Torrence is also in the final year of his contract, and while the Bills would be wise to re-sign him, there\u2019s no guarantee that they\u2019ll be able to make that happen. With that in mind, I\u2019d love to project Reed-Adams on the 53-man roster, as he has the size, strength, and starting experience in college to step in and help.<\/p>\n
But, it\u2019s not so easy as saying \u201cthe Bills drafted this guy, so he\u2019s going to be on the club.\u201d Buffalo has so many versatile linemen who can slot in as reserves that it lessens the impact of a player who really is a guard only. Buffalo also drafted Bowry, and they did so in the fourth round, so he\u2019s far more likely to find himself in the mix than is a seventh-round pick.<\/p>\n
The Bills have been developing Van-Pran Granger over the last two seasons, and he has shown himself to be serviceable in limited action. They also signed veterans in Corbett and Lloyd Cushenberry, who is the only player listed exclusively at center on the roster. That\u2019s four players who I wouldn\u2019t assume will start for the Bills this season who I could see making the team ahead of Reed-Adams, so unless there are injuries or the patented Brandon Beane \u201cflip an offensive lineman who\u2019s going to be released for draft capital\u201d move, Reed-Adams is facing an uphill climb due mostly to numbers.<\/p>\n
I assume that Reed-Adams will have chances to run with the second team this summer, but he\u2019s mostly going to be a third-teamer who needs to show his mettle in order to stick around. I\u2019d look for Buffalo to release him and add him to the practice squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buffalo Bills have been remarkably stable along the offensive line of late.
