Buffalo Bills Free Agent Target: Marlon Mack

The final player is one that has played only seven games over the past two seasons but if he is healthy, could be the biggest bargain at the position this offseason. Marlon Mack was a fourth round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2017 and had 1,999 rushing yards between 2018 and 2019 with 17 rushing touchdowns.

Then in 2020, he suffered a torn Achilles in the first game of the season. He returned to the Colts last offseason but played in only six games and after the Colts were not able to trade him before the deadline, he was a healthy scratch for the remainder of the year.

Mack is a big unknown at this point of his career after essentially not playing for the past two years. However, he has shown he can be an effective running back when given the chance.

If the Buffalo Bills want to add a player who could step in as the primary running back but doesn’t want to invest a lot at the position, Marlon Mack is one of those moves that could be low-risk, high-reward for this upcoming season.
