The 31-year-old has seen limited action in his three seasons with the Bills with Josh Allen at the helm, but has played well when called upon. In Week 18 against the New York Jets, while technically not starting because Allen took the first snap to preserve his starting streak, Trubisky played the rest of the game and performed well.
In the Bills’ 35-8 win over the Jets, Trubisky completed 22 of 29 passes for 259 yards and four touchdowns. He is a free agent this offseason.

Bills owner Terry Pegula told reporters Wednesday that his decision to fire McDermott was based on the results of the team’s 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
McDermott spent nine seasons with the Bills, going 98-50 with a 16-8 record in the playoffs, but was unable to lead the team to a Super Bowl.
