Why the Buffalo Bills shouldn’t sign Latavius Murray

The Buffalo Bills wanted to add speed to the running back position and this isn’t necessarily Murray’s strength, especially at this point in his career. If the Bills want more speed at the position, then Breida has a better chance of providing that.

In addition, there is a question of just how often Murray would be active for games. The past few seasons, the Bills have primarily only had two running backs active with the third being Taiwan Jones, who is almost exclusively on special teams.

If the Buffalo Bills add Murray it would likely be a signal to a potential change to the rotation at the position and also likely taking away touches from Singletary and Moss, which may not be ideal.
