In a surprising move, the Buffalo Bills announced their decision to part ways with fan-favorite running back Leonard Fournette just days before their Divisional Round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The move indicates a shift in the Bills’ postseason strategy, with an increased focus on their running game, particularly featuring James Cook. Despite Fournette’s contribution to two games this season, accumulating 12 carries for 40 yards rushing, the Bills opted to cut ties with the former first-round pick. The team now seems confident in their running back trio of Cook, Ty Johnson, and Latavius Murray. Fournette’s departure coincides with the week leading up to a game against the Chiefs, a team he previously had a significant impact on during the memorable Super Bowl LV victory.
