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.
