Bills Today | ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky loves this free agent quarterback signing by the Bills
‘”I love the fact that the Bills signed Mitchell Trubisky,” Orlovsky stated. “Two reasons, something that we’ve really learned about the Buffalo Bills organization over the last 18 months, they’re developing quarterbacks. They have developed Josh Allen; this could be really good for Mitchell Trubisky individually with his career. The second thing is the Bills are a Super Bowl contending football team. So, what you want in that situation is if something happens to Josh Allen for a game or two, can you get a guy that can just win you the game. He’s got some experience, there’s some skill there and some talent. He’ll win you a game that’s meaningful, that’s why the signing is a big deal both individually for the player and for the football team.”;
Analysis: Emmanuel Sanders offers Bills one-year upgrade at WR
‘In a perfect world with unlimited cap space, you’d love to see Carolina free agent Curtis Samuel, a 24-year-old, 4.31 speedster in a Bills uniform. But for one year and $6 million, Sanders, who officially signed on Wednesday, is a darn good alternative.’

‘The 26-year-old started a career-high seven games for Buffalo in 2020 while appearing in 12 overall. He also started in all three of the Bills’ postseason games.

Levi Wallace returns to Bills, plans to win Super Bowl with team
‘Early in his career with Buffalo, Wallace found a way to win the No. 2 cornerback job over veterans that the team brought in during free agency. With 35 starts and three seasons under his belt, Wallace is now one of the veterans in Buffalo’s cornerback room and this year his role could be reversed. Instead of looking to hold off a veteran for the starting job opposite Tre’Davious White, Wallace will attempt to beat out second-year cornerback Dane Jackson for the job.’
