Buffalo Bills may cut Mitchell Trubisky to make room for cost-efficient backup Mike White
Trubisky's experience and bond with Allen may keep him as the Bills' backup (Image via: Getty Images) The Buffalo Bills are all-in on Josh Allen, and for good reason. The franchise quarterback is the face of the team, the offense, and the city. But behind Allen, the 2025 NFL season could bring a surprising change at the QB2 spot—one that may see veteran Mitchell Trubisky lose his job to Mike White . Bills backup quarterback battle: Mike White vs. Mitchell Trubisky With Josh Allen firmly entrenched as the starter, the real intrigue during Bills training camp lies in the battle for the backup role. Trubisky, a former No. 2 overall pick, returned to Buffalo in 2024 after a two-year stint with the Steelers. He knows the system, has in-game experience with the Bills, and is respected inside the locker room. However, Sports Illustrated's Randy Gurzi predicts that Trubisky may not survive the 2025 training camp cuts. According to Gurzi, Mike White could surpass Trubisky on the depth chart—and cost is a big factor. Trubisky carries a $3.25 million cap hit, while White comes much cheaper at just $1.195 million. For a team managing tight cap space, that $2 million difference may carry real weight. The Truth Behind The Rise and Fall of Mitch Trubisky… Why Mitchell Trubisky's experience and chemistry with Josh Allen could keep him as Bills' QB2 Still, White hasn't looked particularly strong in limited action. Trubisky, on the other hand, has been a reliable presence when called upon in Buffalo. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo In nine appearances last season, he showed poise and command—traits vital for a backup who could be one play away from stepping in. There's also the chemistry aspect. Josh Allen and Trubisky share a solid relationship, which matters in the quarterback room. Continuity, trust, and communication with the starter are just as important as arm talent when it comes to a backup QB.

If the Bills are prioritizing experience and locker-room fit over minor cap savings, Trubisky should remain QB2. But if Buffalo wants to free up cash for depth elsewhere, White could win out.

The Inside Story of How Bills LT Dion Dawkins Helped Create 'Protector of the Year'
THE COLONY, Texas — As the first day of the eighth annual offensive line masterminds summit wrapped up, all eyes in the COSM Dallas dome hall turned to the Bills' Dion Dawkins. Perennial Pro Bowler and recent retiree Terron Armstead, moderating a panel of Hall of Fame linemen, took a moment to shout out Buffalo's left tackle for spearheading the campaign that led to the creation of the "Protector of the Year." Beginning this season, the award will be presented annually at "NFL Honors" to the league's top offensive lineman. The room — filled with O-line greats past and present, in addition to rising stars at both the college and NFL levels, plus coaches and talent evaluators — broke out into applause. Standing in the corner, Dawkins took it all in, busting out a wide smile. "It was something that was mandatory for football," Dawkins said of the award. The Bills' four-time Pro Bowl left tackle told me about the "multiyear" campaign he led to create the honor, which was unveiled by the league in May. The winner will be decided annually by a panel of former offensive linemen: LeCharles Bentley, Jason Kelce, Shaun O'Hara, Orlando Pace, Will Shields and Andrew Whitworth. Along with Dawkins, Whitworth played an integral role in advocating for the award. Dawkins told me that they pushed the lengthy campaign through to the finish line at last season's Super Bowl. Dawkins, with Hall of Famer Pace at his side for support, approached NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at his Super Bowl party. "I was like, 'Rog,'" Dawkins said. "Not one of us could ever say we were the best. We don't have no trophy to say we're the best. … We don't have anything that can show we're the best offensive lineman during our time for a season. We need that award. "He's like, 'Dion, you're right. I'm ready to listen. I'm here. Let's do it.' So we did it. Call after call after call after call. Meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting. Name [for the award]. This, that — long list of all that stuff. Then we had the press conference. Now, it's official." The Protector of the Year winner will be selected based on skill metrics (e.g. pass block win rate, run block win rate, penalties, sacks allowed), taking into account impact, leadership, durability and strength of opponent as well. Offensive linemen were previously ineligible for most on-field awards. "Everybody says, 'He was a great protector.'" Dawkins said. "'Yeah, he was a great lineman. Yeah, he was a lineman for Jim Kelly. Yeah, he was the lineman for [Donovan] McNabb, Michael Vick,' somebody like that. But what good is it to play a sport or to do something and not be able to win an award? "Like, can you imagine if there was no MVP trophy?" he continued. "Can you imagine if there was no passing title? Can you also imagine if there was no sack title? Or no Defensive Player of the Year? Or no Offensive Player of the Year? If there was no NBA MVP, what would LeBron James be? Just another good player. "As a lineman, I want to know who the best protector is. Who's the best? And if it's not me, cool — now, I know where I'm at. Now, I know where I was ranked. Cool, no I can fight for it. Simple as that. Now, the big boys have something to fight for. And I love it." Dawkins also discussed his quarterback, Josh Allen. The three-time Pro Bowler now has an NFL MVP award after this past season, but he hasn't reached a Super Bowl as he enters Year 8. Allen is 0-4 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs, including January's AFC Championship Game loss to Kansas City. Allen's mentality, Dawkins explained, is not the problem in Buffalo. "Josh is going to be Josh. Josh doesn't have to do nothing different," Dawkins told me. "Josh is the best that he can be. The reflection is, everybody around him has to be the best that they can be for us to get over that hump. Of course, everybody is like, 'Is Josh Allen going to do it for the Buffalo Bills?' Josh Allen is going to do what he's been doing, and that's be great. Now, all of us have to be great with him, consistently. Make every block. Catch every pass. Kick every kick. Run down to make every tackle. Once we do that, the rest is the rest. "He's one of them dudes," he added of Allen. "You can't compare him to nothing else, man. He walks through, you feel his presence." Dawkins made his presence felt at the offensive line masterminds summit, hosted by O-line guru Duke Manyweather and Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson. Wearing a shirt of himself on Day 1 of the event, Dawkins gave an impromptu speech about his mentality in front of the 200-person room, showing his engaging and confident persona. "When I walk on the field, I literally say I'm the baddest motherf---er here," he told the room. " I don't give a f---. I'll tell you, 'I'll talk s--- and I'll beat your ass.'" Entering his 10th season, the 31-year-old Dawkins was one of the handful of greats whom college and younger NFL offensive linemen gravitated to during the summit's breakout sessions, where players could get advice and wisdom. "People don't want to be linemen. People want to be skinny guys," Dawkins said of his approach to mentorship. "But to make people want to be big guys, you have to be cool and be around big guys, right? You have to stay in the culture. "Guys are growing up watching music videos," he continued. "You have to know what the world likes. I enjoy being that for the young guys. They look up to it. They're like, 'This dude is cool. He's normal. He's not a robot. He's keeping it real. He's telling his pros and cons. He's a normal dude.'" One who's not afraid to be himself, taking pride in a big win he secured for the overlooked bodyguards of the NFL.

Hailee Steinfeld finds peace at home as Mitchell Trubisky gives Josh Allen added security on Buffalo Bills' roster
Josh Allen gears up for another NFL season as Hailee Steinfeld finds comfort in the Bills' quarterback depth (Getty Images) As Josh Allen enters yet another high-stakes NFL season, Hailee Steinfeld can breathe a little easier knowing her husband has some added protection behind him. The Buffalo Bills' front office has brought back veteran quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, signaling a clear move to reinforce the team's quarterback depth—and it might be just the kind of insurance policy Allen needs in the league's most unpredictable sport. Buffalo looks to Mitchell Trubisky to stabilize backup quarterback concerns Although Josh Allen has started 104 consecutive regular-season games, the Bills are no strangers to the injury toll the NFL exacts. With Allen being the team's undeniable centerpiece, the front office's decision to re-sign Trubisky—who once led the Chicago Bears to the playoffs and earned a Pro Bowl nod—was both strategic and essential. While the 2017 No. 2 overall pick hasn't lived up to franchise quarterback expectations, his record of 31 wins to 26 losses proves he's more than capable in a support role. General Manager Brandon Beane reaffirmed this open competition culture, stating, "We don't lock in many spots here. Obviously, we know number 17 (Josh Allen) is locked in, but every year, you basically have to come in and earn your job. I know Mitch knows that. He doesn't expect anything different." Josh Allen and 5Steinfeld's bond shines even in the trenches of NFL life Despite his demanding career, Allen continues to share a solid partnership with his now-wife, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld. Their much-talked-about wedding wasn't just a Hollywood spectacle—it was a celebration that even included members of the Bills' inner circle, including Trubisky. The bond between the two quarterbacks appears genuine, adding a layer of camaraderie to the roster dynamic. Trubisky's return brings comfort not just to the Bills coaching staff, but potentially to Steinfeld as well, who has been trying to keep her personal life more grounded despite her stardom. With Allen's MVP-caliber play and Trubisky's reliability, the Bills seem better prepared for whatever the 2025 season may throw at them.

While he's transformed the franchise's image and made postseason appearances the norm, the Lombardi Trophy still eludes him. With better protection behind center, and a bit of peace of mind for the people closest to him, the Bills may finally have the right mix of star power and stability to chase that dream again. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's wedding featured a surprise nod to the Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld wedding included the Bills' unofficial anthem, "Mr. Brightside" (Image via Beau society) Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills' star quarterback, and actress Hailee Steinfeld recently exchanged vows in a private California ceremony. A significant aspect of their ceremony was the song 'Mr. Brightside' played by The Killers, deeply associated with the Bills. Several team members were present as Allen now focuses on the upcoming football season. Josh Allen takes a piece of Buffalo to his wedding with Hailee Steinfeld Elite Buffalo Bills signal-caller Josh Allen and acclaimed entertainer Hailee Steinfeld ratified their union on the final day of May, at a private, isolated spot in California. The event was precisely private, with the exact venue kept secret and strict rules prohibiting phones and cameras, ensuring no online visual of the ceremony appeared. Moreover, one specific detail did emerge from their wedding: the selection of "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers for their playlist. This particular track holds massive significance for the Buffalo Bills, having unfolded into their spirited "battle cry during the fourth quarter throughout last season." Spencer Brown, member of the Bills roster, confirmed that the popular anthem by The Killers was clearly heard. Erick Brown, the Bills' right tackle, verified on the Centered On Buffalo podcast, hosted by former player Eric Wood, that "Mr. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Brightside" by The Killers was played at Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding. Brown stated, "I don't think any videos from that night will come out, but the song played and it was incredible." Beyond the insertion of The Killers' song, no further specific details about Josh Allen's wedding has been made public. Nonetheless, it is known that several Bills athletes were among the guests, including head coach Sean McDermott, tight end Dawson Knox, tackle Dion Dawkins, quarterback Mitch Trubisky, and starting right tackle Spencer Brown. Now officially wed and having just signed a yielding "new six-year, $330 million contract," Josh Allen is centralising his efforts on the athletic campaign approaching. On the initial Sunday Night Football broadcast of the year, this season is anticipated to initiate with a game against the Baltimore Ravens—and it's eminently probable that "Mr. Brightside" will resonate once again.
