Our old friend Chris Ivory has signed a two-year contract with the Buffalo Bills for $5.5 million, with $3.25 million guaranteed.
Ivory averaged 4.6, 4.1, and 4.3 yards per rush in his 3 years with the Jets and ran for 16 TD's. Led the AFC in rushing yards in 2015. He was a solid player for us, but it looks like we made the right decision letting him walk. He's averaged 3.8 and 3.4 yards per rush in his 2 years with the Jags. I have to think that he continues to decline in Buffalo.
Ivory can be a beast early in the season but wears down quickly because of his running style. I just hope we don't play them the first 3 or 4 games.
Probably play them week 1 and 3 one will be a Thursday color rush game. Who ever we play with a QB coming off injury will be late in the season.
Remember when Bowles gave Ivory 3 carries vs the Bills last game of 2015 to get into the playoffs? Good times!
The jags released him so he doens't have to wait for free agency. once they release a player under contract he is free to do what he wants. no tampering. With that said, he's just a short yardage guy, that offense runs through mccoy
