RFA on the move: The Bills will not match the offer sheet to OL Ryan Van Demark, who is headed to the Vikings on a one-year, $4.
2 million fully guaranteed deal, sources tell The Insiders. Deal negotiated by @davidcanter @nessmugrabi @brian_mcintyre of @aurasportsgroup . — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 20, 2026 Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Buffalo Bills will not be matching the Vikings’ offer sheet to restricted free agent offensive tackle Ryan Van Demark.
That means that Van Demark will be on his way to Minnesota, where he will likely serve as the primary backup to both Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill. The Bills tendered Van Demark at the “right of first refusal” level of restricted free agency, which meant a 1-year, $3. 52 million deal.
The Vikings’ offer sheet went slightly above that, as Pelissero’s report says the Vikings offered him one year at $4. 2 million, likely in the hope that it would further prevent the Bills from matching. Because Van Demark was an undrafted free agent, the Vikings will not owe the Bills anything in the form of compensation for signing one of their restricted free agents away.
