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.”;
