Buffalo Rumblings
A Spencer Brown clone? Or a candidate to move inside to guard?
The Buffalo Bills have a habit of selecting developmental offensive linemen late in drafts. Some of those players pan out, whether as quality players for other clubs (Wyatt Teller) or quality backups for the Bills themselves (Tylan Grable). Some fade into memory before their career ever has a chance to take off, as well.
General manager Brandon Beane understands that there can never be too much depth along the offensive line, and he also seems to recognize that there’s a dearth of quality offensive linemen available for other teams. By stockpiling talent in the trenches, he can ensure that the Bills keep The Franchise upright, but they can also leverage draft position via trade when they have plenty of depth to spare.
In today’s installment of our “90 players in 90 days” series, we profile a towering offensive lineman whose position may be up for debate.
Name: Chase Lundt
Number: 77
Position: OT
Height/Weight: 6’7”, 304 pounds
Age: 24 (25 on 6/16/2025)
Experience/Draft: R; selected by Buffalo in the sixth round (No. 206 overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft
College: UConn
Acquired: Sixth-round draft choice
Financial situation (per Spotrac): Lundt’s four-year rookie contract is worth $4,404,924 overall. For the 2025 season, he carries a cap hit of $891,231 if he makes the team. Buffalo is responsible for a dead-cap charge of $204,924 if Lundt is cut. That total represents the total value of the guarantees on the contract.
2024 Recap: For the third straight season, Lundt started all of UConn’s games at right tackle. After starting 11 games at right tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2021, that gave him a total of 49 career starts for the Huskies. He was named to the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl 1,000 watch list, as well as the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl watch list. He was able to complete 20 reps of the 225-pound bench press at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
Positional outlook: Buffalo’s tackle group is pretty well defined, with Dion Dawkins, Spencer Brown, Alec Anderson, Tylan Grable, and Ryan Van Demark all returning from last season’s 53-man roster. Travis Clayton and Richard Gouraige were in camp with the team last year. Mike Edwards, whom the team lists as an OL, was also with the club, but he figures to play more guard than he does tackle.
2025 Offseason: Lundt participated in voluntary offseason work.
2025 Season outlook: Barring some injuries or a breakout performance in camp, Lundt is likely vying for a spot on Buffalo’s practice squad this season. While there may be some rush to compare him to right tackle Spencer Brown due to his height, Lundt’s arms are shorter (32 5/8” as opposed to the 34.75” arms on Brown) and he lacks the mass and overall athleticism Brown has, as well.
Lance Zierlein thinks that a move to guard even in spite of that height could benefit Lundt, as that lack of arm length could...
