Bills sign veteran RB Murray to one-year deal
‘Murray, 33, is a massive 6-foot-3, 230 pounds and joins James Cook, Nyheim Hines and Damien Harris as the four RBs on the Bills’ roster. Cook and Hines are quicker, more elusive runners, while Harris and Murray pack a bit more of a punch. Buffalo is hoping the latter duo, both signed this offseason, can provide the team the physicality it’s been searching for from the RB position for the past several seasons.’
Beane discusses Bills draft, plans for remainder of offseason
‘“Beyond that, I wanted to add a D-tackle,” said Beane. “From what I’ve told you guys, as far as I don’t have long-term guys under contract there. But I think that shows you we truly do stick to the board. There were guys we could have reached for, it just wasn’t working the way our board was set when we were picking. Did we hit every single thing? No, you rarely do. But I do think we’ve added guys that will help us either as starters, key contributors and then key backups that will help us on fourth down.”’

Pros and cons of Buffalo Bills taking Ole Miss football's Nick Broeker in 2023 NFL Draft

Bills make move by signing Broncos leading rusher from 2022 to one-year deal in free agency
‘Murray will likely be able to come in and help right away for the Bills. At 6-foot-3 and 230-pounds, Murray is a bruising running back who will almost certainly see action in short yardage situations in 2023. The 33-year-old is coming off a 2022 season where he was one of the few bright spots for a Broncos’ offense that struggled with Russell Wilson at quarterback.’

Bills RB Latavius Murray is ready to compete for a team close to home
‘Once you’ve been in the NFL for 10 seasons, you’re bound to have connections with almost every NFL team. Murray has those in Buffalo, but it goes even beyond that. The RB grew up just outside of Syracuse, NY, which is less than two and a half hours away from Buffalo.’
