Grade Buffalo Bills sign Cs Lloyd Cushenberry
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Cushenberry is a solid depth addition for Buffalo's offensive line. Multiple headlines highlight his experience as an 80-game starter elsewhere. The Bills signed him to a one-year deal alongside other linemen, suggesting rotation flexibility. Fans view this as competent backup reinforcement rather than a marquee upgrade. Buffalo appears comfortable with veteran competition for the center position moving forward.
**Buffalo Bills Sign Center Lloyd Cushenberry to Modest Deal** The Buffalo Bills added veteran center Lloyd Cushenberry on a budget-friendly $1.4M AAV contract, earning a C+ grade from the Contract Value Index (CVI). This signing represents solid value for a franchise looking to shore up their interior offensive line without breaking the bank. Cushenberry brings above-average experience and reliability to the center position, making him a dependable option for Josh Allen's protection scheme. At $1.4M annually, the Bills are getting a proven starter at well below market rate for established centers, though his ceiling remains that of a solid contributor rather than an elite anchor. This move demonstrates Buffalo's strategic approach to addressing depth needs while preserving cap space for premium positions.
