ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Running back Olandis Gary is leaving a crowded backfield in Denver, agreeing to terms on a contract with with the Buffalo Bills. <br> <br> Terms of the deal were not disclosed. A telephone call to Frank Murtha, Gary&#39;s agent, was not returned. <br> <br> Gary, 27, who played college football at Georgia, isn&#39;t likely to be a starter for the Bills either. He is expected to back up Travis Henry after spending last season as a second-stringer behind Clinton Portis. <br> <br> Gary&#39;s best pro season came in 1999 when, as a rookie, he finished with 1,159 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. He tore ligaments in his right knee in 2000 and broke his left leg late in November 2001. <br> <br> Last season, Gary rushed 37 times for 147 yards and one touchdown and caught 18 passes for 148 yards. He figured to be a third option, at best, in Denver this season behind Portis, the 2002 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Mike Anderson, who won that honor in 2000.
