Mitch Trubisky signs one-year deal with Bills
‘It’s telling that Trubisky couldn’t land a starting job this offseason. His new home won’t offer that opportunity — quarterback Josh Allen earned a Pro Bowl nod last season — but it’s a soft landing spot nonetheless. He’ll learn under Allen and up-and-coming coordinator Brian Daboll, who is expected to be a head-coaching candidate next offseason, and hit the free-agent market again in a year.’

‘A Pro Bowler in 2018, Trubisky went 29-21 in the regular season as the Bears’ starting quarterback. He was 0-2 in the playoffs, however, as Chicago never made it past the wild card round during Trubisky’s time in the Windy City. In 51 regular-season games (50 starts), Trubisky completed 64% of his throws for 10,609 yards with 64 touchdowns and 37 interceptions. He had a winning record in three of his four seasons in Chicago, including an 11-3 regular-season record in 2018. That season, Trubisky threw for a career-high 3,223 yards and 24 touchdowns.’

‘According to NFL Network, Trubisky will make $2.5 million this season. That’s an incredibly reasonable cap hit compared to other backup quarterbacks. For perspective, Jacoby Brissett signed with the Miami Dolphins for $5 million earlier this week. Tyrod Taylor signed for $12.5 million with Houston. So yeah, $2.5 million is a steal.’

4 Notable Quotes: Brandon Beane
‘Brandon Beane: (Jokingly) He said he was going to give us a nice hometown discount and hopefully will get it done. In all seriousness, we’ll talk to Josh and his people probably later in the spring. We’ll get through the draft so we can just focus on that. That’s obviously a big financial commitment that you have to make that will probably be sometime in May through the summer.”‘
