Summary
The Buffalo Bills added several running backs to the roster, with TJ Yeldon and Frank Gore via free agency and Devin Singletary via the draft, but they say LeSean McCoy remains their top option in the backfield. However, last season McCoy was bad and seemed to hit the wall as his yards per carry dropped from a mediocre 4 to a paltry 3.2. His touchdowns, which have rarely been a selling point, also fell to just three and he saw his targets tumble to 46 from 2017's total of 77. Even allowing for outside factors--a shaky offensive line, a running quarterback, poor tools around him--McCoy just doesn't look like the same running back. At 30 and in the final year of his contract, you have to assume the Bills are looking past him now, and while the team may be heading towards an upswing, that might not involve McCoy as much as it used to.

Bills | LeSean McCoy expects sizable role (Thu Jun 13, 07:31 PM) - Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy expects to maintain a large role in the offense in his age-31 season in 2019. 'I'm a type of guy, I thrive off of having a big name. So when guys come to my team, they're curious to see, 'How is LeSean McCoy? Is he still a good player?' I mean, I'm a dominant player. I think that speaks for itself. But I'll be in the same role as last year. And I look forward to putting some numbers up and bouncing back from that last season,' McCoy said Tuesday, June 12. Our View: There has been speculation that he could be released because of his 6.5 million dollar price tag, but the Bills have shown that they value McCoy greatly in recent years despite some incentive to trade him. He is about as cheap as any back in line to lead his team in carries, so the risk of release or a diminishing role is tolerable. His ceiling is limited by an under construction offensive line and potential to lose short touchdowns to Josh Allen.link to story
