| Bills agree to deal with running back McGahee
ORCHARD PARK, New York, Aug 12 (AFP) - The Buffalo Bills on Tuesday agreed to terms with running back Willis McGahee, leaving quarterback Byron Leftwich as the only unsigned first-round draft choice. The Bills did not disclose contract terms, but McGahee's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN the deal is for four years and worth more than 15.5 million. Serious business, investment and technology intelligence for a serious advantage - BizVantage! The Bills used the 23rd selection in the National Football League draft on McGahee, the star running back from the University of Miami who tore up his knee in the Hurricanes' Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State. Leftwich has yet to reach a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who chose the Marshall quarterback seventh overall. The Heisman Trophy finalist was almost certain to be a top-five selection before the injury. McGahee's recovery has been aheadof schedule, but it is uncertain when he will return. There is speculation that the Bills will place McGahee on the physically unable to perform list once he is signed. The Bills already have Travis Henry and signed Olandis Gary and have no glaring need at running back. bb Amfoot-NFL-Bills
