O'Cyrus Torrence

No. 64 · 4th season

Torrence and the Bills are both interested in making it last

Contract talks are quiet by nature. They happen in offices, over calls, with agents in the middle. Most players just wait. So when word gets out that both sides want to stay together, it means something — even before a number is attached.

O'Cyrus Torrence plays offensive line for the Buffalo Bills, the people in front of the people everyone is watching. His work does not show up in a highlight package. It shows up in whether the quarterback has time to think.

According to ESPN's Bills beat reporter, there is mutual interest between Torrence and the Bills in getting a contract extension done. Both sides want the same thing right now, which is a rarer starting point than it sounds.

For an offensive lineman, that kind of institutional want is what a career is built on. Teams do not invest extension conversations in players they are ready to move on from. The Bills are telling Torrence, in the language teams actually speak, that they see him in the plan.

Now comes the part where want becomes paper.
