The Buffalo Bills have one of the best starting running backs in football, but they have wasted no time bolstering their depth at the position this offseason.

Ivory enjoyed the majority of his success in the AFC East when he spent three seasons with the New York Jets. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2015 before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he became more of a complimentary player. Last season, Ivory averaged just 3.4 yards per carry on 112 attempts while getting very little playing time behind Leonard Fournette.
While McCoy will turn 30 this offseason and is set to carry a cap hit of nearly $9 million next season, there has been no indication that the Bills plan to part ways with him. The signing of Ivory likely doesn’t change that.
