The Buffalo Bills lost a longtime backup to quarterback Josh Allen, then brought back his close friend to re-fill the role of No. 2.
Previous backup Mitch Trubisky will be leaving the team, agreeing to sign a new contract with the Tennessee Titans as the backup to second-year signal-caller Cam Ward. With Trubisky gone, the Bills made quick work of finding a veteran backup to replace him — one who is very familiar with Buffalo and close to Allen.
