Buffalo Bills make smart move to give Matt Barkley contract extension

The Buffalo Bills began the season with barely any NFL experience in the quarterback room. That has changed as the year has gone on.

Matt Barkley and Derek Anderson are now on the roster to help guide Josh Allen, and it appears Barkley will be around as the backup for a few more years.

This was both a smart and important move for the Bills to make. Young quarterbacks like Allen need veterans behind them, the same way Baker Mayfield has Drew Stanton and Tyrod Taylor in Cleveland.
