The Buffalo Bills know what they have in starting quarterback Josh Allen, but with Mitchell Trubisky signing to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and third-stringer Davis Webb signing with the New York Giants, the Bills had a few holes to fill in the quarterback room.

Today’s edition of the Bills daily links leads off by examining how the Bills addressed their backup quarterback needs on Saturday, trading for Case Keenum and reportedly bringing back former backup quarterback Matt Barkley to round out the quarterback room.

Bills solve their backup QB situation

When Mitchell Trubisky agreed to a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bills knew they needed to find Josh Allen’s backup, and the team went out and sent a 2022 seventh-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Case Keenum, who has played for six teams during his nine-year NFL career. The Bills don't appear to be done addressing the QB room, as reports have the team bringing back Matt Barkley to serve as QB depth.
