The Buffalo Bills appear to be stockpiling veteran running backs this offseason, and they added another on Monday when they agreed to a contract with TJ Yeldon.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Yeldon will sign a two-year deal with Buffalo.
Bills are signing former Jaguars’ RB T.J. Yeldon to a two-year contract, per league source.

Yeldon spent the first four years of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he was effective almost any time they needed him to take on an expanded role. He averaged 4.0 yards per carry last season and racked up more than 900 total yards from scrimmage in 14 games.
In addition to signing Yeldon, the Bills also brought in Frank Gore at the start of free agency. With LeSean McCoy turning 31 before the 2019 season begins, adding depth at the running back position is probably a good idea.
