Mitch Trubisky, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, has quickly found a new home in the NFL. According to NFL Media, the Buffalo Bills have signed the veteran quarterback to a two-year contract costing $5.25 million, with a maximum salary of $8.45 million.
Trubisky is guaranteed $2.7 million for the following season.
Trubisky spent the 2021 season as Josh Allen’s backup in Buffalo, appearing in six games and passing 43 yards.
Trubisky lost his starting job by Week 5 of 2022, with rookie Kenny Pickett taking over.
Trubisky briefly recovered the starting quarterback job in 2023 following Pickett’s injury in Week 13, but he lost both starts, throwing for 359 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Mason Rudolph replaced Trubisky and went undefeated in the final three games, sealing a playoff spot for the Steelers.
The Chicago Bears selected Trubisky as the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and he went 29-21 with the Bears before leaving for free agency.
The Bills’ decision to bring back the former Chicago quarterback is a strategic move made during a hectic day for the team’s front staff. In addition to Trubisky’s signing, the Bills parted ways with six players, including Jordan Poyer and Tre’Davious White, and restructured contracts, including Von Miller’s agreement.
