The Buffalo Bills are bringing back RB Ty Johnson on a 2-year contract.
Ty Johnson returns to Buffalo, where he combined for 691 total yards and 5 touchdowns during the last two seasons. The 27-year-old played well in key spots for the Bills last year, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and a very respectable 15.8 yards on his catches.
This is good news for Josh Allen and, ultimately, James Cook, whose owners should worry less now about the team drafting a running back in the early or middle rounds. The team also signed Darrynton Evans for depth in a seemingly complete backfield that poses little threat to eating into Cook’s workload.
This could be considered sub-par news for Ray Davis owners, but as we saw last year, both running backs fit in well together behind Cook. Davis showed enough to hopefully challenge Ty Johnson for more snaps this year and should continue to see sparing opportunities around the goal line.
