3. Buffalo Bills

First off, the Buffalo Bills appear to be in great shape at running back for years to come if Devin Singletary‘s rookie campaign in 2019 is any indication of what the future holds.

Not to mention, if Frank Gore decides to return for another year with the team, this could put Buffalo’s offense in even better shape since the veteran still appears to have some gas left in the old tank.

With that being said, if the Bills were to come down to choosing between running backs such as Gore or Gurley, this would almost seem like a no brainer to go with the former Georgia star.

Clearly, Gurley has the major advantage over Gore in regards to being able to play longer, and could provide a solid one-two punch in the backfield playing alongside Singletary.

Leading up to last season, Buffalo was always known to be a team carried by their defense, but watching the offense take a step in the right direction with Josh Allen has the bar set high for 2020, especially after reaching the playoffs this past season.

For all the Bills know, the addition of Gurley could help the offense reach new levels, and give Buffalo a better chance of finishing on top of the division since no one really knows what to expect from the New England Patriots now that Tom Brady is on his way out.
