BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Bills didn't wait long after the news broke that running back Devin Singletary was signing with the Houston Texans.
Only hours later, ESPN's Adam Schefter was first to report Buffalo is signing now former Patriots running back Damien Harris to a one-year deal. The 26-year-old officially signed with the Bills on Tuesday.
Harris dealt with injuries this past season, appearing in 11 games and rushing for 462-yards and three touchdowns. He was more effective over 15 games in 2021 rushing for 929-yards, 15-touchdowns, and averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Harris averaged 4.7 yards per carry over four seasons in New England.
He's listed at 5 feet 11 inches, 213 pounds, and has more of the power running style that Buffalo is looking to compliment James Cook in the backfield.
It's the reason that they're moving on from Devin Singletary, who they let depart as a free agent. Schefter was first to report he's signing a one-year deal with the Houston Texans for up to $3.7 million.
Singletary rushed for 3,151-yards and 16-touchdowns over four seasons in Buffalo averaging 4.7 yards per carry.
Earlier Monday, the Bills signed free agent receiver Trent Sherfield.
He began to emerge at the position last season with Miami. He was the Dolphins third leading receiver with 30-receptions for 417-yards and two touchdowns. He's entering his sixth NFL season, having spent time with the Cardinals and 49ers prior.
The Bills also have signed offensive tackle David Quessenberry to a new contract, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
He started in three games last season, both at left and right tackle.
