O'Cyrus Torrence extension: Bills lock up starting guard

O'Cyrus Torrence extension locks in Bills' offensive line

The Buffalo Bills agreed to a four-year, $78.4 million contract extension with right guard O'Cyrus Torrence (OG, BUF), per ESPN's Adam Schefter and agents Jon Perzley, Brian Mackler, and Daniel Scardigno of SPORTSTARSNYC. The deal includes $46 million guaranteed and makes Torrence the NFL's 7th-highest paid guard at $19.6 million per year.

Torrence, 26, was entering the final year of his four-year, $6.2 million rookie deal. He was selected 59th overall in the 2023 draft and has not missed a single one of Buffalo's 58 regular-season and playoff games since. He played 100% of the Bills' offensive snaps in 2025 for the second time in three seasons.

Does this change anything for fantasy rosters?

Torrence does not have fantasy value himself. Guards do not score points, earn targets, or touch the ball. But his extension does matter at the margins for Bills skill players.

The deal eliminates any holdout or contract distraction heading into the season. It also extends the continuity of the interior line protecting Josh Allen (QB, BUF). The Bills already lost left guard David Edwards this offseason when he signed with New Orleans, so keeping Torrence was real line maintenance. Center Connor McGovern was retained on a four-year, $52 million extension, and wide receiver Khalil Shakir (WR, BUF) recently landed a four-year, $60.2 million contract. The Bills are clearly building around their core.

For fantasy purposes, Allen's pocket stability and James Cook's (RB, BUF) running lanes both benefit from a settled offensive line. If you roster either of them, this is the front-office news that supports your decision rather than threatens it.
