If Corbett or Anderson don’t secure the role, Schatz suggests pursuing former Browns guard Joel Bitonio. The Bills recently drafted Jude Bowry, who might transition from tackle to guard, but adding a proven veteran could bolster Buffalo’s line as it contends for a Super Bowl run. Bitonio’s track record—12 NFL seasons, seven Pro Bowls, strong pass blocking—would provide stability, though his commitment remains uncertain and retirement could be a factor.
Bitonio’s future with Cleveland is in question as the Browns rebuilt their line with new signings, including Zion Johnson and Elgton Jenkins, making a return unlikely. If Bitonio signs with Buffalo, it could make the Bills one of the top offensive-line contenders in the league, addressing a critical gap ahead of the upcoming season.
Key Takeaways:
– Left guard is the Bills’ primary area for improvement post-draft.
– Potential options: Austin Corbett, Alec Anderson, or a veteran addition like Joel Bitonio.
– Bitonio’s proven performance and championship ambitions could attract him to Buffalo, provided he remains open to playing and the fit is right.
