Why the Buffalo Bills should sign Latavius Murray

The biggest reason is he is an experienced running back that even though he is 31 years old, he has primarily been a backup which has limited his workload. However, when he has gotten the chance to play, he has done a good job with a career 4.2 yards per attempt, with it being slightly higher the past two seasons with the Saints at 4.4 yards per attempt.

He is also a well-rounded running back that does everything pretty well from running the ball to catching it out of the backfield with 185 career receptions and in the past three seasons has dropped only seven passes.

He has already proven he can be productive in a running back by committee or sharing the responsibilities from his time with the Saints, and even with the Minnesota Vikings before that. He could be a good veteran complement to Singletary and Moss.
