In 2023, the Buffalo Bills saw a boost in their ground game with James Cook becoming the first 1,000-yard rusher for the franchise since LeSean McCoy. However, as they head into the new league year, the Bills have only Cook and Darrynton Evans under contract, leaving their backfield quite bare. An insider suggests targeting A.J. Dillon from the Green Bay Packers on a cost-effective deal to complement Cook’s style as a powerful rusher. The Bills are in need of a short-yardage back, and Dillon, with his size and versatility, could fill that role well. Dillon’s projected contract is anticipated to be below last season’s $2.5 million compensatory formula, making him an attractive option. Dillon had a solid role with the Packers, showcasing his rushing and receiving skills over four seasons. The Bills could benefit from adding more veteran talent, potentially looking at Ezekiel Elliott as an affordable addition given their financial constraints. The team has also invested in running backs through the draft in recent years.
