The Buffalo Bills thought they had found the perfect addition to their backfield when they agreed to terms with running back J.D. McKissic on a two-year deal in March. Until McKissic changed his mind, opting to return to the Washington Commanders for the same $7 million deal the Bills had offered him.
It was a perplexing turn of events for general manager Brandon Beane, who went from having added a versatile pass-catching threat to the running back room as a complement to Devin Singletary to once again needing to find another running back in free agency.
