The Buffalo Bills have been quite active in recent days. Despite the NFL’s higher than expected salary cap, the team still had financial constraints. Consequently, they began releasing some of their starting players in order to comply with the salary cap. In a surprising move, they re-signed quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, which left former Kansas City Chief Mitchell Schwartz puzzled. Schwartz questioned why the Bills would pay over $5 million to a backup quarterback like Trubisky while cutting other players due to cap issues. He expressed amusement at the situation, suggesting that the team’s decision-making seemed puzzling to him.
Trubisky is set to serve as a backup for Josh Allen, meaning he will only get playing time if Allen gets injured next season. While the Bills still have financial challenges to overcome before the NFL Draft, having a reliable quarterback, as Schwartz emphasizes, is crucial in the NFL. Although they hope to have Allen on the field every game, having Trubisky ready to step in provides a sense of security in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Trubisky’s experience and veteran presence could prove invaluable if Allen is sidelined.
