BUFFALO, N.Y. — On the same day the Bills saw their leading rusher the past four seasons depart for the Houston Texans, Buffalo reached agreement with former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris on a one-year deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Just hours earlier, the Texans and Devin Singletary agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $3.75 million, Schefter reported. Singletary has led Buffalo in rushing since being selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft (pick No.
74). His replacement, Harris, was drafted by the Patriots 14 picks later, at No. 87. Harris, who turned 26 in February, was supplanted by Rhamondre Stevenson as the Patriots' No.
1 running back in 2022. He was also limited by a thigh injury that sidelined him for six games. As a result, he played just 22% of the offensive snaps, compared to 66% for Stevenson.
