He's definitely better than the back-up QBs we had but I'm not sure if this was the best use of cap space this year. I would've rather had Ertz. I wonder how people are going to feel when the cap details come out. I can't imagine he signed for less than Dalton or Tyrod. I'm guessing 1 yr 8-10mil? Although we've already established Beane is a Wizard... so I guess we'll see. No way they are paying him that much guaranteed. Probably 5ish with incentives Edit: Came in at 2.5......great deal Edited March 18, 2021 by BillsCuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has serious shades of Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie. I think the locker room is strong at this point but I really hope this isn't the start of another QB controversy. Lets not forget, Trubixy was the SECOND OVERALL PICK in the draft not long ago. The guy was considered a serious talent. The NFL is a what have you done for me lately league. One or two bad games from Allen, or god forbid an injury, and I think its very realistic we could have a debate about the starting QB and a locker room divided. I hope I'm wrong fellas.... This might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read on here. Ever 3 3 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a year with reduced cap space you have to make room sonewhere and backup QB would be my first choice to make that room. But we'll see what his cap hit looks like. Ok so now we know it's a $2.5 million salary I love this move. I thought for sure he would get closer to $10 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewmylegoff Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 $2.5m is an amazing deal. Kind of surprised he didn’t sign somewhere else with more of a chance of starting if he was prepared to sign for that little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Grading QB Mitchell Trubisky’s deal with the Bills: A https://www.yahoo.com/sports/grading-qb-mitchell-trubisky-deal-192726627.html Quote under Daboll, Trubisky will have a no-pressure gig unless Allen gets hurt, and he’ll be able to re-learn the position with a playbook that has been proven friendly to remedial quarterbacks. And if Trubisky does have to start for any length of time, a heavy dose of boot-action would do him a world of good. Last season, per Sports Info Solutions, Trubisky completed 31 of 46 passes for 304 yards, 106 yards after the catch, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Under Daboll, Allen completed 12 of 23 such passes for 120 yards, 69 yards after the catch, four touchdowns, and one interception. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 There were so many years where this signing would cause infinite arguments. There’d be those that were convinced that we got a talented QB who was ready to turn things around and shine here in the right offense with the right coaches. And there’d be those who complain we just wasted a bunch of money on a bust and that we were doomed. Now we’re all like “Hey, nice pick up. He’ll make a great back up.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Solid get by the Bills. He should be able to keep the ship afloat for a few games in the event that Josh Allen gets hurt (God forbid). Big upgrade from Matt Barkley, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy is a click bait prick type; I mean can you ever see yourself wanting to hang out or have a drink with this idiot. Totally a narcissist. Beane specifically said it’s not a competition, it’s insurance, it’s a reset for Mitch, he will be here one year esp as can’t afford to keep him when Allen is due to be paid. Will be either trade bait later in the year or even next year possibly before they let him go. Best scenario , he is good insurance for a year but doesn’t hit field till last game which is meaningless and he comes in , kills it, and some team like the Raiders, Saints, WFT ( btw , does anyone else have their brain read this as WTF when you see it? Just habit!) desperate after a year of poor qb play comes calling ! Not a bad move really. Just hope draft works out. Will be happy with off season totally if we somehow land Ertz! Need a good tight end per Beane last year ( need more fro position) , and consistency is important. Knox may never get there. It’s not about a mentor for Knox. He will be a third year pro. By then you get it or you don’t; rookies need mentors. We need a red zone consistent threat and one more guy we can depend on for third down beside Beasley.

Improving team and contracts go hand in hand. If Bills spent all their remaining cap on Mitch then this was a terrible signing as they then can't improve the team in positions that matter much more than B/U QB. If he takes vet min then it is a great signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benefit to him he gets to sit behind an amazing QB, watch and learn. One would think after a year he would be more appealing and or.. more for us to get decent draft pick out of him before the trade deadline ends. The Benefit to us is draft capital and IF Josh goes out, we have a solid player that can be counted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
