PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with right guard O'Cyrus Torrence on a four-year, $78.4 million extension that includes $46 million guaranteed, his agents Jon Perzley, Brian Mackler and Daniel Scardigno of Sport Stars told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The deal makes Torrence the NFL's seventh-highest-paid guard. He is now under contract through the 2030 season.
Bills coach Joe Brady spoke highly of Torrence during his pre-practice news conference Friday morning, describing him as "one of the top guards in football."
Bills general manager and president of football operations Brandon Beane said after practice that the deal is done outside of "a couple language things we're working through, but it should get hopefully signed this afternoon."
"The No. 1 thing we want to do is we want to be strong up front," Beane said. "...We want to protect No. 17 (QB Josh Allen). That's where it all starts."
Torrence described the contract almost being done as a "surreal feeling" and noted the congratulations he received from the rest of the team.
"He deserves every penny," Allen said. "...Cybo's just that guy on the team where you ask anybody, I don't think anybody could say a bad thing about O'Cyrus Torrence. And he's the ultimate teammate."
The Bills drafted Torrence, 26, in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. Since then, Torrence has become a consistent presence at right guard. He has played in all 17 games the past three seasons and seven playoff games.
Outside of left guard, which is the team's biggest training camp battle, the other four starters on the Bills' offensive line are under contract through the 2027 season.
