The Buffalo Bills and offensive guard O'Cyrus Torrence have mutual interest in a long-term contract extension, according to Newsweek reported details from ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg. Torrence, selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of the University of Florida, has started at right guard for the past three seasons.
He has started all but one game since joining the team and led the Bills in offensive snaps each of those years, playing 100 percent of snaps as a rookie and 99.7 percent in 2025.
His physical run blocking has supported the team's rushing attack, including James Cook's 1,621 yards and 12 touchdowns on 309 carries in 2025. Torrence earned PFWA All-Rookie Team honors after his first season and was a consensus All-American at Florida. The Bills enter the 2026 season with Josh Allen, James Cook, Dion Dawkins, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and Ed Oliver on the roster.
They added DJ Moore, Bradley Chubb, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the offseason and selected T.J. Parker, Davison Igbinosun, and Skyler Bell in the draft. A new contract for Torrence is projected to exceed $13 million annually.
General manager Brandon Beane has a pattern of finalizing deals shortly before the regular season begins.
