Buffalo Bills

Projected Starters: Dion Dawkins (LT), David Edwards (LG), Connor McGovern (C), O’Cyrus Torrence (RG), Spencer Brown (RT)

Approaching the 2025 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills will return the same offensive line from last year. This unit performed at a high level throughout the season, and although they ultimately fell short in the playoffs, they’ll look to pick up right where they left off. In a now-weaker division, the strength of Buffalo’s offensive line should once again help solidify the team as a legitimate contender in the AFC.

Miami Dolphins

Projected Starters: Patrick Paul (LT), James Daniels (LG; Free agent from Pittsburgh), Aaron Brewer (C), Jonah Savaiinaea (RG; Rookie), Austin Jackson (RT)

As flashy as Miami is at the skill positions, their offensive line was far from up to par last season. Ranked among the worst in the NFL, the Dolphins are attempting to address these issues with the additions of veteran James Daniels and rookie Jonah Savaiinaea. If this team hopes to compete in the AFC East—or even stay in the Wild Card race—they’ll need to do a much better job protecting Tua and make significant improvements in run blocking.

New England Patriots

Projected Starters: Will Campbell (LT; Rookie), Cole Strange (LG), Garrett Bradbury (C; acquired from Minnesota), Mike Onwenu (RG), Morgan Moses (RT; Free agent from New York Jets)

New England is certainly in an interesting spot. After what felt like rock bottom the past few seasons, the organization appears to be on an upward trajectory. Now that they believe they’ve found their franchise quarterback, the focus has shifted to developing the offensive line—a critical component for staying competitive. With first-round pick Will Campbell at left tackle, the addition of center Garrett Bradbury, and veteran right tackle Morgan Moses, the Patriots are clearly committed to building the support needed for their young quarterback to thrive.

New York Jets

Projected Starters: Olu Fashanu (LT), John Simpson (LG), Joe Tippmann (C), Alijah Vera-Tucker (RG), Armand Membou (RT; Rookie)

Though the stats may not have shown it, this offensive line is poised for a strong season in 2025. The unit is young across the board, with Olu Fashanu entering his second year and tasked with protecting Justin Fields blind side. While expectations for the Jets aren’t particularly high, this O-line has the potential to quickly change the narrative in their favor.
