BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The highest-drafted player on the Buffalo Bills' roster is not recently extended quarterback Josh Allen -- it's former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who signed with Buffalo this offseason after four seasons in the Windy City.
The Bears declined Trubisky's fifth-year option despite drafting him at No. 2 in 2017, and the North Carolina alum said he didn't have "as many options as you think" in free agency. But when Buffalo showed interest, he saw it as a strong contingency plan.
"At first, I wanted to go to a spot where I would get to compete for a starting position, but the right situation didn't come up and the opportunity wasn't there," he said.
