About this episode

Minnesota Vikings Sign Buffalo Bills Ryan Van Demark: A Strategic Move for Offensive Line Depth

The Minnesota Vikings have made a bold move by signing Buffalo Bills restricted free agent offensive tackle Ryan Van Demark. This acquisition aims to bolster their offensive line, which lost a swing tackle last season. Van Demark, standing at six feet seven inches and weighing three hundred seven pounds, has played in forty-three games for Buffalo, with six starts at right tackle. He allowed only two sacks last season and earned a strong PFF grade. Van Demark could serve as a reliable third option for the Vikings, potentially allowing Blake Brandel to handle center duties. The Vikings also attempted a similar move with Bills linebacker Ivan Pace Junior, indicating their aggressive approach in free agency.

For the NFL, it's March 18th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Minnesota Vikings made waves by signing Buffalo Bills Restricted Free Agent Offensive Tackle, Ryan Van D Mark, to an offer sheet. This move targets their need for more depth on the offensive line after losing last year's swing tackle. The Bills hold the right of first refusal and have five business days to mash the offer. If they pass, Van D Mark joins Minnesota with no draft picks owed in return. Van D Mark measures six feet seven inches and weighs 307 pounds. Turning 28 soon, he has played in 43 gains for Buffalo since joining as an undrafted free agent in 2022, with six. Starts mostly at right tackle. Last season he allowed just two sacks and earned a strong 74.4 grade from PFF. For the Vikings, he could serve as a reliable third option, potentially fraying up versatile lineman, Blake Brandell, to handle center duties.

Meanwhile, Minnesota tried a similar tactic with Bills Limebacker Ivan Pace Jr. With some cap room available, these plays show the team getting aggressive in free agency.
