Buffalo Bills’ Mitchell Trubisky says he’s happy to be where he’s wanted
‘”Mitch has been awesome. He’s quickly developed into one of my good friends,” Allen said. “He comes in with a great attitude every day and he’s working his tail off and he’s not afraid to ask questions about the offense. He’s here to help this team win in whatever that way may be. We’re lucky to have him, I’ll tell you that.”‘
Josh Allen’s Contract: Strong for the Player but Also Team-Friendly
‘The first shoe dropped among the trio, with Allen extending his contract with the Bills for six years—past the existing two years—for a total contract value of $258 million over eight years. As readers in this space know, the total value is a fictitious number as, unlike NBA and Major League Baseball deals, NFL contracts are not fully guaranteed. But Allen’s deal appears to be a strong one, with $100 million fully guaranteed at signing—a key metric for these extensions—and a portion of that guarantee extending even into Year 4, another strong feature for Allen. Allen also has another $50 million of “rolling guarantees” that vest easily next year and the year after. It is a strong player deal, but it also has a distinct advantage for the Bills: its length.’
Run game comes alive at Bills camp
‘Running backs Devin Singletary and Matt Breida both broke off long gains during 11-on-11 drills. Although players were wearing full pads, the defense was not live tackling all the way to the ground. Obviously that may have impacted the overall result of the plays, but there were still good holes to run through, and both backs showed great vision.’
Opinion: Great Josh Almighty
‘If the extension wasn’t completed before the season began, I don’t think it would have negatively impacted Allen’s performance, but I think it was better for both parties to get this done and out of the way, as opposed to getting back at it after the season. I guess there would have been a chance Allen would be concerned about contract talks if he was struggling, or perhaps would be worried about an injury before getting the pay day of his lifetime.’
Opinion: The Preseason Plea
‘You wanna see the CB3 battle? Great. You want to know how your special teams unit is working and make sure the gunners are staying in lanes? I’m into it. Otherwise, the preseason is all risk and no reward.’
Bills QB Mitch Trubisky humbled by past experiences & focusing on future
‘Trubisky, who turns 27 later this month, believed he would have strong options in free agency. The 2018 Pro Bowler felt like he was good enough to compete for a starting job in the league. But after a few weeks as a free agent, it became evident there wasn’t as much interest. Then Buffalo came calling.’
Bills QB Mitch Trubisky says he’s “getting that love for the game back” being in Buffalo
‘“I think I’m very well prepared for the role that I have this season, just continue to learn the offseason and build chemistry with the guys, the 1’s, 2’s and the 3’s, whoever’s out there, just continue to be a great teammate,” Trubisky said.’
Trubisky as Bills’ new backup: ‘I feel like I’m right where I’m supposed to be right now’
‘”At first I wanted to go to a spot where I’d be able to compete for a starting position, but the right situation didn’t come up,” Trubisky said. “I looked for the next best thing where I could continue to develop and become a better player and a person and fell into this organization, and I’ve loved it ever since coming to Buffalo.”‘

Why the Bills and Mitchell Trubisky are a perfect match at the perfect time

Just continue to be a great teammate and push these guys and you just always have to be ready in the role I’m in.”‘
