With the opportunity to test out his options in free agency, Chubb decided to join the team that had tormented him for much of his NFL career.

Since coming into the league as the fifth overall pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2018 NFL Draft — the same draft where the Buffalo Bills picked Josh Allen at No. 7 — Chubb’s teams lost their first eight matchups with the Bills, with Allen and Buffalo averaging more than 34 points per game against Chubb’s teams. So Chubb decided if he couldn’t beat Allen, he should join Allen’s Bills, signing a three-year deal worth $43.

5 million with $29 million in guaranteed money. On Thursday, Chubb met with the media for his introductory press conference, and today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by recapping what Chubb had to say about joining the Bills, including why, after years of being tormented by Josh Allen during losses to Bills, Chubb is excited to join a perennial Super Bowl contender and prove he’s still a talented edge rusher. Recapping Bradley Chubb’s introductory press conference In the aftermath of the Dolphins releasing Bradley Chubb, the veteran edge rusher said he had a few different suitors, but in the end, he opted for the Bills because he knew the team is close to winning it all and he wanted to help Buffalo finally get over the hump and win a Super Bowl title.

“The last few days have been hectic, just kind of going back and forth with my agent about different teams, different opportunities, and I felt like this one presented the best opportunity to go out there and win,” Chubb said. “Before I even got released, I was like, ‘Man, I went to the Super Bowl (as a spectator), I saw what it’s like, I saw the atmosphere, I saw the feeling, and I just want to win. I want to make sure I win.
