The Buffalo Bills currently have two running backs signed to their roster in Nyheim Hines and James Cook. Neither back has carried the football in a (more) featured role for their team. That’s true also for Hines’ tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. Furthermore, both have a very similar size profile and each are seen as pass-catching backs, where questions remain if they can handle featured roles in an offense where issues of wear-and-tear might might be an elevated concern. General manager Brandon Beane went so far as to mention the issue of size during his press conference following the first wave of free agency.
Could the Buffalo Bills and Ezekiel Elliott help one another?
