Mitch Trubisky signed a two-year contract with the Buffalo Bills after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky quickly found a new home in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills signed the veteran signal-caller to a two-year contract worth $5.25 million, with a potential return of up to $8.45 million, according to NFL Media. Trubisky is guaranteed $2.7 million next season.

Trubisky spent the 2021 season in Buffalo as Josh Allen’s backup, appearing in six games and throwing for 43 yards. He then signed a two-year, $14.25 million contract with the Steelers for the 2022 season.

But his tenure in Pittsburgh was rocky, going 2-5 as a starter and completing 64.1 percent of his passes for 1,884 yards, eight touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Trubisky lost his starting spot in Week 5 of 2022 and was replaced by rookie Kenny Pickett.

In 2023, Trubisky briefly returned to the starting lineup after Pickett was injured in Week 13, but lost both starts and threw for 359 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Mason Rudolph replaced Trubisky and went undefeated in the final three games, clinching a playoff spot for the Steelers.

Trubisky was selected by the Chicago Bears with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and had a 29-21 record with the Bears before becoming a free agent. The Bills’ decision to bring back the former Chicago quarterback reflects a strategic decision in the team’s busy front office.

In addition to signing Trubisky, the Bills parted ways with six players including Jordan Poyer and Tre’Davious White, restructured a contract that included Von Miller and re-signed quarterback Taylor Rapp before their next game. It is reported that. free agency period.
