‘I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with him last night. We sat up and talked a ball for about an hour, actually we talked ball for about 20 minutes and we talked about life for about 40 minutes. I love that dude already. He keeps it real he keeps it 100 with me. He told me about his background, I told him about my background and we just got a feel for each other. He’s one of those guys that I know that I’m going to look forward to playing for. We started talking X’s & O’s and how he’s put certain routes in, certain option routes and different stuff. The way that he uses (Cole) Beasley and the way that he uses (Stefon) Diggs, the way that he uses Josh. That’s what really got me excited.’

Vic Carucci: Signing Mitchell Trubisky makes loud statement about Bills’ contender status
‘From the Bills’ perspective, the decision to give Trubisky a one-year contract worth a reported $2.5 million to replace free agent Matt Barkley as Allen’s backup only makes sense for one reason: The Bills are certain, beyond all reasonable doubt, that they’re going to take the step that they failed to take two months ago and get to the Super Bowl.’

Bills’ Mitch Trubisky left money on table to join team in free agency
