The Buffalo Bills wanted to add a complementary back this offseason, as they targeted a receiving back early on in the process. When they agreed to terms with J.D. McKissic, the team was clearly happy that they had achieved the goal of adding a solid receiver out of the backfield for quarterback Josh Allen.
Then, McKissic had a change of heart, general manager Brandon Beane gave an angry press conference, and the team had to go in a different direction. One could argue that Buffalo made out in the end given the totality of the additions they made, but it’s interesting to wonder what the team would have done had McKissic signed his contract.
