Buffalo Bills Sign Veteran Center Will Clapp to Strengthen Offensive Line
The team aims to bolster its offensive line with the addition of Clapp, following the release of starting center Mitch Morse and the trade of backup Ryan Bates.
- Will Clapp, with six seasons of NFL experience, signs a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills, aiming to fill the void left by recent departures.
- Clapp, previously with the Los Angeles Chargers, started a career-best 11 games at center last year and is known for his versatility in playing both center and guard positions.
- The Bills plan to move Connor McGovern to center, replacing Mitch Morse, with David Edwards projected to take over at left guard, indicating a strategic reshuffle of the offensive line.
- Despite being considered a solid starter, Clapp's signing is seen as part of a broader strategy to address the offensive line's needs, with the draft also being a key focus for the team.
- The addition of Clapp is crucial for protecting quarterback Josh Allen and ensuring the offensive line's stability, with expectations of further changes before the new season starts.
