Last offseason, the Buffalo Bills signed Mitchell Trubisky to a one-year deal. At the time, it was surprising because it was clear that Trubisky would be coming to Buffalo only as the backup.

The former second overall pick had an inconsistent start to his career with the Chicago Bears and it was described that he was looking for a reset. It made sense as Buffalo has become one of the top franchises in the league and had one of the top offenses so if Trubisky did have to step in, he would be surrounded by a talented supporting cast. The move appears to have paid off as he now looks to be set up to earn a starting job this offseason.

For the Buffalo Bills, they were able to add an experienced quarterback that if the need were to arise, had a player that could keep the offense on track and at one time had played at a high level.

Now that Trubisky is likely to be playing for a new franchise, the Buffalo Bills could be looking for a new backup this offseason and it would make sense for them to once again try this strategy to address the backup spot. This could potentially create a great opportunity for some other quarterbacks who have struggled and could look for a ‘reset’ at a pivotal point in their career.

These are three quarterbacks, if they become free agents this offseason, could join Buffalo to backup Josh Allen and potentially set themselves up for a starting job in the following seasons.
