The Bills are closing out their week by making an addition to their offensive line group.
The team announced the signing of Kevin Jarvis on Friday afternoon. It’s a one-year deal and no other terms have been announced.

Jarvis was undrafted out of Michigan State last year and he signed with the Lions, but he was placed on injured reserve during the team’s final round of cuts last summer. Jarvis started 39 games at guard and tackle during his time with the Spartans.

90 for camp but he was good in college. Hidden on IR for a year. Cheap gamble for depth. No issues. Healthy now.

Gotta have bodies for camp, and we're down to guys that are the equivalent of what a late-round pick/UDFA would be this year.

I knew a Kevin once....and two different other ones at other times...never overlapping...like I only knew one at a time. True story.

[Ed]

I don't know anything about him, but I like his size and versatility. I'll be curious to see what positions they try him at. He could be a decent PS candidate at least.

In 2023 his ceiling is likely the practice squad.
