The Buffalo Bills didn’t add any running back depth during the NFL Draft over the weekend, but they did add some in free agency on Monday with the signing of Latavius Murray.
The veteran running back has signed a one-year deal with the team and he’ll now join a roster that already has James Cook, Damien Harris and Nyheim Hines at the running back position. The Bills also have former Fresno State running back Jordan Mims, who was signed as an undrafted free agent on Saturday.
Although the Bills have five running backs on the team, none of them have been in Buffalo for more than a season. Cook was a rookie last year, while Hines wasn’t added until Nov. 1 when the Bills acquired him from the Colts in a trade. As for Harris, he’s going into his first season in Buffalo after signing with the Bills in March.
Murray will likely be able to come in and help right away for the Bills. At 6-foot-3 and 230-pounds, Murray is a bruising running back who will almost certainly see action in short yardage situations in 2023. The 33-year-old is coming off a 2022 season where he was one of the few bright spots for a Broncos‘ offense that struggled with Russell Wilson at quarterback.
