The Buffalo Bills announced the re-signing of offensive lineman Ryan Van Demark following the end of their 2024 NFL season.

The team’s roster building for 2025 has begun.

Van Demark, 26, was set to be an exclusive rights free agent (a player with two or fewer accrued seasons and an expired contract). Since the Bills extended a qualifying offer to Van Demark, he’s now unable to negotiate with other teams and will be back in Buffalo for preparations for the 2025 season.

Van Demark made two starts in 2024 and played in 14 games. As a rookie in 2023, he appeared in 12 games. In a mostly rotational role, Van Demark graded out at a 53.3 mark via Pro Football Focus‘ metrics.

Van Demark went undrafted out of the University of Connecticut in 2022 and was signed by the Indianapolis Colts  before eventually making his way to Buffalo.
