Bills snag Brian Brohm

by Steve

According to a paper out of Milwaukee, the Bills inked Brian Brohm to a two year deal Wednesday.

The Packers had an open roster spot after waiving wide receiver Jake Allen and attempted to retain Brohm by offering the same two-year deal as the Bills did. But in the end, the Packers’ second-round pick in 2008 thought it best to go to a team searching for a quarterback, not stay on one that has its long-term answer at the position in Aaron Rodgers.


Understandably Brohm, the former Louisville Cardinal stand out wants to an opportunity to be a starter and not a career back up behind Rodgers. True he was like the 3rd or 4th QB on GB's depth chart but according to Packer coach McCarthy, Brohm was making strides.

"We feel we have a quarterback in Brian's situation," McCarthy said. "I think Brian is really improving. We have repped him as far as opponent reps and even some of the offensive reps every single week. His reps are very similar to the number of reps he had last year, so he's having the opportunity to improve."


Gabran Hamdan was cut to make room for Brohm (oh well). I say attempt to evaluate Brohm later in the year. Hopefully he shows promise, draft a guy and bring in a veteran and have a good ol' fashion fight for the starting job next year. Maybe even allow Trent to compete depending on our GM/coach.

Hey at least Brohm isn't from the Big 12 or PAC10 and has actually seen snow.

Brohm was GB's 2nd round pick (56th overall), he's 6'3 228
