The Buffalo Bills are bringing back two key pieces on offense. RB Ty Johnson is re-signing on a two-year deal and FB Reggie Gilliam has agreed to terms on a one-year deal, the team announced Tuesday.
Johnson had 41 carries for 213 yards and a touchdown, but was more impressive as a pass catcher. He totaled 25 catches for 284 yard and three TDs in the regular season.
Johnson had five games (including playoffs) with at least 30 yards receiving, including 114 yards on five catches against the Lions in a 48-42 win. In the AFC Wild Card game against the Broncos, Johnson made an incredible 25-yard TD catch in the end zone on fourth down to put Buffalo up two scores in the second half.
Johnson's play in 2024 garnered consistent praise from QB Josh Allen who called his teammate "the best third-down back" in the league.
Gilliam will return for his sixth season with the Bills as fullback and special teams player in 2024. He is widely regarded as one of the leaders on the special teams unit and recorded four tackles last year.
