Bills Rest Allen, Eye McLaurin Trade in Preseason

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, fresh off his first NFL MVP award and a recent contract extension, will rest during the team's preseason opener against the New York Giants while Mitchell Trubisky starts in his place. Allen, who married Hailee Steinfeld in the offseason, continues to draw attention both on and off the field as he approaches second place on the Bills' all-time passing yards list. The Bills are reportedly interested in acquiring top receiver Terry McLaurin from the Washington Commanders, who is seeking a trade, although cap and contract considerations remain. Allen's new mustache look during the preseason has also sparked fan discussion. As the 2025 season approaches, Allen is seen as the franchise's leader, tasked with advancing the Bills' Super Bowl aspirations.
