NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the agreement Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"The #Bills have re-signed key reserve OL Alec Anderson, who played in every game last year and started six times over two seasons, per agent Sam Leaf Ireifej.
He gets a 1-year, $3M deal with $1.8M guaranteed."
Anderson appeared in all 17 games last season, providing depth and versatility along Buffalo's offensive line. Over the past two seasons, he has made six starts while serving primarily as a reserve. His return offers continuity up front for Allen, who remains the centerpiece of the Bills' offense.
Buffalo's 2025 campaign ended in disappointment. The Bills finished 12-5 but fell short of a division title behind the eventual AFC champion New England Patriots . Buffalo was eliminated in the AFC Divisional Round last month, losing to the Denver Broncos in overtime.

Re-signing Anderson represents an early step in stabilizing the roster following that postseason exit. Maintaining offensive line depth has been a priority for Buffalo as it seeks to maximize Allen's production and durability moving forward.
The Bills will now shift focus toward the 2026 NFL Draft , scheduled for April 23–25 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as they look to build on a playoff season and return to contention in the AFC.
