The Buffalo Bills announced on Monday, Feb. 23 that they have re-signed offensive lineman Alec Anderson on a one-year deal. Anderson was a restricted free agent heading into the 2026 offseason.
Anderson made six starts over 39 game appearances since 2024, including five postseason contests. Buffalo signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2022 out of UCLA.
He was a key part of the Bills' six-offensive line formation in 2024 and showed his versatility both at guard and tackle in 2025 as the offense transitioned away from using a sixth lineman. Anderson provides depth for Buffalo's offensive line could see some adjustments with a few players entering restricted and unrestricted free agency.
Buffalo also re-signed defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis on Monday. Mathis was an unrestricted free agent heading into the offseason.
Mathis enters his fifth NFL season and second year with the Bills. He previously played for Washington for three seasons, playing in 23 games before being waived in Dec. 2024. The Commanders originally drafted Mathis 47th overall in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Buffalo signed Mathis to its practice squad on Sept. 10, 2025 and he ultimately played in six games. He registered 13 tackles throughout his first season with the Bills.
