Bills Explore Offensive Line Addition with Visit from Austin Corbett
The Buffalo Bills hosted free agent offensive lineman Austin Corbett for a visit on Monday, March 23, 2026, according to the NFL’s transaction wire [1]. Corbett, a versatile player capable of lining up at both guard and center, could provide depth for a Bills team navigating changes on the offensive line [4].
Corbett’s Career Overview
The 30-year-aged Corbett was originally a second-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2018 [3]. After playing 14 games for the Browns, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams during the 2019 season. He went on to win Super Bowl LVI with the Rams before signing with the Carolina Panthers in 2022 [3].
Corbett spent the last four seasons with the Panthers, starting 37 of his 39 games played, demonstrating his ability to play center, right guard, and left guard [1]. He re-signed with Carolina on a one-year deal last offseason [4]. Though, the Panthers signed Luke Fortner in free agency, replacing Corbett [3].
Durability Concerns and Recent Performance
While Corbett has shown versatility and starting experience throughout his career, he has faced some durability challenges. He played all 17 games in 2022, his first season with Carolina, but has missed 29 of a possible 51 games over the past three seasons [3]. In 2025, he appeared in 13 games and made 11 starts for the Panthers [4].
Bills’ Offensive Line Situation
The Bills are evaluating their offensive line options following recent free agency activity. Corbett’s visit suggests the team is seeking to add depth and competition to the position group [2]. Throughout his career, Corbett has appeared in 94 games with 78 starts [3].
Corbett was similarly the Panthers’ Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for the 2025 campaign [1].
