State of the Bills: RB position

Every few days I plan to post an in depth look at each position group prior to FA and the draft. 
 

1st up is running backs:

 

2022 Roster

Devin Singletary (Age: 25 5-7 203lbs)

     -177 rush 819yds 5td 

     -38 rec 280 yds 1td

James Cook (Age: 25 5-11 190lbs)

     -89 rush 507 yds 2 td

     -21 rec 180 yds 1td

Nyheim Hines (Age: 26 5-9 198lbs)

     -6 rush -3 yds

     -5 rec 53 yards 1td

Reggie Gilliam (Age: 25 6-0 244lbs)

     - 0 rush

     -8 rec 69 yds td

Tawain Jones (Age: 34 6-0 190lbs)

     -No stats

 

2023 Roster

James Cook (3 year 4.7 mil left)

    -1.3 million cap hit for 2023

Nyheim Hines (2 year 9.1 mil left)

    -4.7 million cap hit for 2023

Reggie Gilliam (2 year 4.6 mil left)

    -2 million cap hit for 2023

 

Devin Singletary- FA

Tawain Jones- FA

 

Summary:

The bills would probably like to resign singletary but he will likely get more money than they can spend on the position for a player who is not a playmaker. It’s finally time to let jones walk away. They need to stop investing in special teams guys who provide no value in offense or defense.

 

My prediction:

They will extend Hines and provide some guaranteed money (he has none left of current contract). They will hopefully utilize him more on offense and also he is an elite return man. I think they will sign a reasonable veteran that would be cheaper than singletary to fill out the room as they have gone to the draft several times and I don’t see them spending more picks on a back:

 

FA options:

-Jeff Wilson (Age 28 6-0 213lbs)

-Samaje Perine (Age 27 5-11 235lbs)

-D’Ontae Foreman (Age 26 6-1 236 lb)

Jamal Williams (Age 27 6-0 224 lbs)

 

Next up: Quarterback
