NEW DELHI: The Buffalo Bills have inked a two-year, $6 million extension with guard David Edwards, according to multiple reports on Wednesday. The contract extension ensures the continued presence of the 26-year-old lineman, who played a pivotal role in the Bills' 2023 season.
David Edwards, who is set to celebrate his 27th birthday on March 20, made a notable impact during his first season with the Bills in 2023. Despite coming off the bench in all 17 games, Edwards showcased his versatility and contributed significantly to the team's offensive line dynamics.
The guard's NFL journey began with the Los Angeles Rams, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2019 draft. Over his initial four seasons in the league, Edwards appeared in 53 games, earning 45 starts. His experience and reliability make him a valuable asset for the Bills as they aim for success in the upcoming seasons.
The decision to retain David Edwards was a priority for the Buffalo Bills, underscoring the team's commitment to bolstering key positions. This move comes on the heels of the Bills trading guard Ryan Bates to the Chicago Bears earlier in the week, acquiring a 2024 fifth-round draft pick in the process.
