The Buffalo Bills are facing some heavy competition from the Miami Dolphins in the AFC East division race, and it looks like the team is going to be getting a little bit of a boost on the offensive side of the ball.

According to a recent report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, the Buffalo Bills are nearing a deal to bring in former top-five pick Leonard Fournette to help the team down the stretch.

“BREAKING: Leonard Fournette tells me he’s in Buffalo and is planning to sign with the #Bills today, pending a physical. ‘Playoff Lenny’ had nearly 1,200 all-purpose yards, including a career-high 523 receiving yards, along with 6 TDs last season,” Schultz said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Fournette, who was selected as the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season but has been a free agent this season.

Based on his production last year, it’s clear that he is still capable of performing at a high level and has a lot to offer even at this stage in his career. We’ll have to see what he brings to the Bills.
