After Matt Barkley’s departure last offseason, the Buffalo Bills were lucky enough to bring in a reclamation project in former Chicago Bears starter Mitch Trubisky to a cheap contract considering his recent starting experience. The former No. 2 overall pick performed well in the preseason and then served as the Bills backup quarterback. Thanks to his service, Trubisky is, by all accounts, expected to move on and find an opportunity to compete for a starting job elsewhere after hitting free agency this offseason.
Meanwhile, with their cap space stretched as far Buffalo could be on the lookout for a cheaper backup option at quarterback.
