The first day of NFL free agency wasn’t all about reported deals with stars from around the sport. There were contract extensions as well.
One of them: former Wisconsin offensive lineman David Edwards signed a 2-year $6 million extension with the Buffalo Bills.
Edwards is entering his sixth NFL season, the first four coming with the Los Angeles Rams where he was a member of their 2021 Super Bowl-winning team. He signed a one-year deal with the Bills entering the 2023 season, and now is re-upped after a strong season.
The former Wisconsin lineman committed to the Badgers as a tight end in 2014. He then converted to offensive line and spent 2015-2018 in the program, starting in 2017 and 2018. He was a big piece of the program’s stellar 2017 team, led by the nation’s best offensive line. 2018 was a step back, but Edwards was still selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL draft.
