‘Josh Rosen to the Bills is what I’ve heard repeatedly,’ says Eric Galko
‘”Josh Rosen to the Bills is what I’ve heard repeatedly,” said Galko. “A year ago, the Buffalo Bills were linked to Mitch Trubisky, partially by me. (It was) confirmed many times throughout the process… Doug Whaley (was) their GM at the time in Buffalo. I was told him and part of the front office really liked Trubisky. I think that’s well-founded. They were higher on Trubisky than we were, but Trubisky looks pretty good. I think it was a good decision to be aggressive towards him. I know people close to Trubisky who said that, ‘Yeah, he believed he was likely going to be a Buffalo Bill of all the teams out there.’ You know a lot of teams liked Trubisky, obviously the Bears did too, but he thought himself that the Bills might be his most likely destination.”‘

Are the Buffalo Bills the perfect landing spot for Nick Foles?
‘Foles would be the perfect quarterback for the Bills for a number of reasons. First, he is only under contract for one season, so the Bills could theoretically still sell the idea of trying to develop Peterman for the future. Second, Foles is the perfect quarterback to pair with a good defense and a strong running game, both of which the Bills have.’
