What happened: The agreement makes Torrence the NFL’s seventh-highest-paid guard. The 2023 second-round pick had been entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Why it matters: The extension keeps a durable starting lineman in Buffalo beyond the upcoming 2026 season. It also removes a potential priority from next year’s free-agent market.
By the numbers: Torrence started 50 of 51 regular-season games from 2023 through 2025, a 98.0% rate. The extension averages $19.6 million per year, with guarantees covering more than 58.7% of its total value.
What to watch: The next step is finalizing the contract before Buffalo begins its preseason schedule.
