Hot off the heels of releasing 2021 starting right guard Daryl Williams, the Buffalo Bills quickly inked his replacement in the lineup with Rodger Saffold. The veteran guard was just released a few days ago from the last year of his four-year, $44 million contract with the Tennessee Titans. As a true free agent, he was immediately available to negotiate with teams and sign a contract, even though for most players this is the unofficial “tampering” period of the offseason.
A bonus for Saffold’s signing is that he won’t count against the Bills in the compensatory pick formula, not that Brandon Beane puts any emphasis on those draft picks.
