When the Buffalo Bills begin the 2018 NFL season, their offensive line will look quite a bit different than it has over the last few seasons. Gone are interior stalwarts Eric Wood and Richie Incognito, as the center and guard (respectively) retired in the offseason. Also moving on is left tackle Cordy Glenn, who started 61 of a possible 64 games from 2012-2015, but then missed 16 of the team’s next 33 games over the subsequent two seasons due to a litany of foot and ankle injuries.
While some would say that the only constant in life is change, NFL personnel people like for things to remain fairly neutral, especially at a position such as the offensive line where communication and familiarity are essential to success.
