There is good and bad news on the Bills roster relating to the quarterback position.
Starting with the negative, the Bills currently only have one quarterback on their team. They’ll need another.
On the plus side, that one is Josh Allen, one of the best in the NFL.
On a serious note, Kyle Allen was the backup for the Bills last season. He’s slated to be a free agent. He might not cost much to bring back.
But there is an option for the Bills to consider instead of Kyle Allen: Mitch Trubisky.
Trubisky was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers and is already a free agent.
The 29-year-old previously spent the 2021 season backing up Josh Allen with the Bills. All along the dialogue from both Trubisky and the Bills was that it would be a one-and-done scenario where Trubisky would leave after a year if there was a chance for him to start somewhere.
Exactly that happened and it did not work out in Pittsburgh.
All things considered, Trubisky is now a name to watch when free agency opens in March. One longtime NFL analyst agrees.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer wrote in his post-Super Bowl roundup that he believes Buffalo is a genuine option for Trubisky.
Trubisky was originally brought on board to backup Josh Allen because the team believed he had a similar play style to their starter. More so, Trubisky’s skills match Josh Allen more than Kyle Allen does.
But for Breer, it’s much more simple than that. He thinks Trubisky is just… better.
Breer’s breakdown can be found below:
Mitch Trubisky going back to Buffalo would make all the sense in the world. He had a really nice year there in 2021, to the point where Brian Daboll seriously considered taking the quarterback to the New York Giants with him. And while the Bills were happy to have Josh Allen’s buddy Kyle Allen there last year, Trubisky would help to upgrade the room.
