Trubisky Released

[peterpan]

Rookie contract for backup qb 

[John from Riverside]

I honestly don’t even know how good he is but a name right rattler would be a treat would be intriguing

[Comebackkid]

might as well sign taylor swift

Yea so would I. I doubt he can command the size of backup deal he had here before. But he is definitely better than Kyle Allen and so I'd be in on him if he wanted to come cheap. 

[Adam727]

I'd sign him for vet minimum.  If he can get more than that somewhere else I think that's more than we can afford at that position right now.

Because our current backup is Kyle friggin' Allen. 

[The Cincinnati Kid]

What has Trubisky done in the last 4 seasons to make us think he is better than any other back up caliber player?

 

My answer is nothing, maybe he has proven to be below that level. 
 

I do think there is value in finding an experienced starter from a power 5 late in the draft. 4 years of very low rookie contract $$.

Vet minimum? Sure.

Exactly.  For the vet minimum he’s a solid backup.  Especially since Josh hasn’t missed a game since 2018.

I'm waiting for the Jets to release Zach Wilson.

Zach Wilson is better than Mitch and Kyle Allen.

I guess...no backup is going to be good. if they were they'd be starting somewhere

[gjv]

As we witnessed all the QB's going down last season, it's imperative to have a competent backup QB. I don't think the Bills have one on the roster.

Find a physical QB who can play WR who appears to have good hands for catching snaps to reduce chances of fumble.

Maybe that QB can do the run up middle as well.

Saves a roster space.  Make sure there is a candidate on PS squad for injuries.

How about a WR who can play QB? Isaiah Williams (Illinois) is likely to be available between the 5th and 7th rounds, and is actually very high on my "Underrated WR" rankings. This interview is worth a watch; seems like a process guy, with a little bit of James Cook slippery, a QB brain, and high production as a WR. Definitely one to watch:

He’s an upgrade at that position so yes

True, but there are graduations of backup. We currently have a bottom of the barrel guy.

Eh, reminds of a poor man's Khalil Shakir. He was mainly used like Isaiah McKenzie, little shovels and WR screens. That's a pass for me.

Well, I can see that, but also, we have some spare picks late in the draft (see below). Might be worth a flier over a Luke Tenuta or a Dez Lewis... Just sayin'.

 

[bigK14094]

The bills could go without a backup qb, and revert to a single wing offense if Josh is hurt.

6th or 7th round flier, sure. But he was the guy I thought had the best chance to really help himself at the Shrine Bowl and he was a disappointment. Don't see a lot explosion from him, looks like a relatively slow slot guy. Now that doesn't mean he can't play, Beas was a slow slot guy - but he was an UDFA for that reason.
