After signing former Miami Dolphins center Greg Mancz on Monday morning, the Buffalo Bills have signed another free agent from Miami.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, running back Duke Johnson is joining the Bills on a one-year deal.
Johnson, 28, joined Miami’s practice squad roughly midway through the 2021 season after spending just over a week on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad in September. When Johnson finally got the opportunity to step on the field, he was productive, rushing for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 4.6 yards per carry. He added another 41 yards on four receptions in the receiving game.
The Dolphins have already signed Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert this offseason, so once those moves were made, it was pretty unlikely that Johnson would return for a second season.
