Bills sign Mitchell Trubisky: Ex-Steelers QB inks two-year deal reportedly worth $5.25 million

The Pittsburgh Steelers released quarterback Mitch Trubisky earlier this offseason, and the former No. 2 overall pick has already found a new home, with the Buffalo Bills announcing Thursday that they signed Trubisky to a two-year deal. According to NFL Media, the deal is for $5.25 million and worth up to $8.45 million for the veteran signal-caller. He is guaranteed $2.7 million this season.

“To reunite with these guys, this team and really playing this offensive system that’s friendly to the QB, something I’m familiar with, that I think helps my skill set, it just felt like a no-brainer,” Trubisky said, via ESPN. “It felt like coming back home. So, I was very excited about it.”

Trubisky spent the 2021 season as Josh Allen’s backup in Buffalo, throwing for 43 yards in six games played. He then scored a two-year, $14.25 million deal that included up to $27 million in incentives with the Steelers ahead of the 2022 season. The Steelers clearly targeted Trubisky in free agency, as he agreed to terms with Pittsburgh about an hour into the league’s legal tampering period.
