Quinton Spain

The Buffalo Bills showed an improved offensive line last season and Spain was a big portion of that. Originally signed to a one-year contract late in free agency, Spain helped solidify Buffalo’s offensive line, especially in pass protection. According to PFF, Spain didn’t allow a single sack over his 1,063 offensive snaps last season.

Spain certainly wouldn’t be able to fill Yanda’s shoes entirely, he’s shown some flashes and has plenty of starting experience. When paired up with Baltimore’s more aggressive power scheme and playing next to tackle Orlando Brown, he could see some more consistency and improvement on a pretty affordable short-term deal.
