Buffalo Bills' Left Guard Dilemma: Joel Bitonio or Kevin Zeitler?

About this episode

The Buffalo Bills are in need of a solid left guard for next season, following David Edwards departure to the New Orleans Saints. While Connor McGovern was retained, internal options like Alec Anderson and Ryan Van Demark may not be long-term solutions. ESPNs Bill Barnwell suggests targeting Joel Bitonio from the Cleveland Browns, a seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, who might be interested in a Super Bowl run with a contender like Buffalo. If Bitonio stays or retires, Kevin Zeitler, a solid right guard with a down year in Tennessee, could be the next best option. The offensive line market is tight, making it challenging for the Bills to fill the left guard position.

Welcome to NFL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The Buffalo Bills face a gap at left guard heading into next season after letting David Edwards sign with the New Orleans Saints. They did bring back Conor McGovernness off season, but now they need a solid starter between him and Dion Dawkins. Earlier this week, ESPN writer Bill Barnwell pointed out that internal options like Alec Anderson and Swing Tackle Ryan Van D Mark might not cut it long term. Anderson has been a reliable backup, but he's better suited at Tackle. Barnwell's big idea is targeting Joel Baitonio from the Cleveland Browns. The veteran has earned seven pro bull nods in two all pro honors, and at this stage, he might want a shot at a Super Bowl with a contender like Buffalo. If Baitonio stays put or retires, the next best free agent could be Kevin Zitler. He's 36, still solid inside, but has mostly played right guard and had a down year in Tennessee.

Disreflects a tight offensive line market overall, with few top centers or guards available. The Bills dodged a bullet keeping McGovern, but filling left guard won't be easy.
