Given our OL challenges, I see Austen Corbett as well worth a look:

’The Panthers are tearing things down after trading away Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers. There may be certain players that they view as cornerstones in their rebuild, but Austin Corbett, a 27 year old offensive lineman, likely isn’t part of that plan.
For Buffalo, however, Corbett could be a valuable piece to their offensive line over the remainder of the season.
Corbett is a quality guard who also has experience playing under Aaron Kromer with the Los Angeles Rams (2019-2020). After the Browns traded Corbett to the Rams, Kromer spoke about what he liked about the lineman.
“I think obviously he’s athletic to play guard, but he bends well enough to play center,” Kromer said. “When we worked him out, we had him at center up at the college. He really moved down the line of scrimmage really well, he was athletic to the second level.”

Not sure we could afford him, but if we could, plug him in and move Bates to backup center, drop Van Roten.
