Corbett to Compete for Bills' Guard Spot After Edwards' Exit

The Buffalo Bills are bolstering their offensive line by signing eight-year veteran Austin Corbett to a one-year contract. This move aims to fill the void left by David Edwards, who departed for the New Orleans Saints in free agency. Corbett, a former Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Rams, has 78 career starts but is returning from injury issues including an ACL tear and a biceps injury.

General Manager Brandon Beane noted Corbett's injury history as the reason for the "lower price" of the contract, but praised his significant starting experience. Corbett previously played alongside Edwards for two seasons with the Rams, where he anchored the right side of the offensive line. The Bills will see Corbett compete for the left guard spot against incumbent Alec Anderson, with Beane anticipating an open competition once training camp begins.
