Bills should look to sign this former Chargers blocker
This veteran guard is suddenly available, and the Bills should be interested
The Los Angeles Chargers have released guard and tackle Jamaree Salyer due to a knee injury, according to a source. Salyer, a sixth-round pick, started 40 games for the Chargers during his tenure with the team. He amassed a total of 67 NFL games played, counting the playoffs. Standing at 6'4" and 325 pounds, Salyer possesses a prototypical guard frame rather than a tackle.
Initially, the Chargers planned to utilize Salyer at left tackle following the injury to Rashawn Slater in Week 3 of his rookie season. Despite an impressive rookie season at left tackle, Salyer's starting position was lost to Justin Herbert ahead of the 2024 season, but he continued to play at right guard, left tackle, and right tackle throughout 2023.
His best season was in 2023, where he recorded a career-low 22 pressures in 509 snaps across three positions. The familiarity of Salyer with current Bills players, including Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and James Cook, may make him an attractive option for the Bills to improve their tackle and guard depth.
