Mike White Challenges Mitchell Trubisky for Bills’ Backup QB Role

Coach Sean McDermott will weigh camp performance against salary cap demands when deciding to keep three quarterbacks or cut a veteran.

Overview

  • White signed a two-year, $2.3 million deal this offseason carrying a $1.195 million cap hit that undercuts Trubisky’s $3.25 million figure.
  • Training camp opened with reps split evenly as coaches assess each quarterback’s poise, decision-making and readiness to step in for Josh Allen.
  • Trubisky boasts a 73 percent completion rate in Buffalo but faces increased scrutiny over his higher salary and limited preseason workload.
  • The Bills must decide whether to carry three active quarterbacks or release a veteran backup in order to maintain roster flexibility under the cap.
  • Analysts warn that Allen’s aggressive playing style amplifies the need for a dependable second-string signal-caller to protect the team’s Super Bowl aspirations.
