On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills announced two signings and are making progress in addressing off-season needs. Nevertheless, they remain active as another free agent safety is scheduled to join them this week.
On Tuesday, a variety of news and rumors surfaced concerning the Bills.
Joining shortly before the start of the 2023 season, Ty Johnson initially spent half a year on the practice squad. Nevertheless, he was brought into action in October and gradually witnessed an expanded role throughout the rest of that campaign – particularly since Joe Brady took over as offensive coordinator. Now bound for Buffalo once again, it’s possible that his position within this offense will be even more notable going forward.
During Weeks 12 through the end of the season, Johnson was active for seven games and had at least five carries in six of them. Additionally, he played a minimum of 15% of snaps in those same six games.
With limited carries, Johnson displayed impressive performance and has potential to complement James Cook this season. He finished as the second rating back last season which paves way for Bills to prioritize a bigger running back specialized in short-yardage situations, completing their diverse backfield with Johnson’s addition.
