STM Take

Career STTM range almost entirely in tier 7-8 (five of his six seasons) plus the Super Bowl LVI ring plus the 2022 concussion absence makes Edwards a textbook journeyman with championship pedigree but structural mid-tier ceiling. The Wisconsin technical foundation plus seven years of NFL survival give him basic veteran value. The 2026 question is whether Edwards holds tier 7 or whether the Bills explore depth alternatives.

Edwards came out of Wisconsin as the Los Angeles Rams' 5th-round pick (169th overall) in 2019 and won Super Bowl LVI as the Rams' starting left guard. He missed the entire 2022 season with a concussion-related injury before signing with the Buffalo Bills in 2023. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#70) rookie, tier 8 (#62) in 2020, tier 8 (#82) in 2021, tier 7 (#54) in 2024 with Buffalo, and tier 8 (#58) in 2025.

Strengths

Super Bowl LVI ring as the Rams' starting left guard plus seven years of NFL survival gives him the journeyman-to-champion résumé that pure stat-ranking doesn't fully capture.
Multi-team experience plus positional flexibility at guard gives him real veteran depth value the Bills captured.

Concerns

Career STTM range almost entirely in tier 7-8 (five of his six seasons) confirms the structural ceiling has never climbed above the late-round-pick baseline.
2022 concussion-related full-season absence raises the durability question across every future projection.

What to watch: Whether Edwards holds 8 or more starts in 2026 or whether Buffalo's offensive line investment compresses the role back to swing depth.
