According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo‚ the Pittsburgh Steelers have reached an agreement with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on a two-year deal. The base value of the deal is $14 million‚ with a player option that can be renewed for an additional season. It is unclear when Trubisky will be ready to replace Ben Roethlisberger. The decision to sign Trubisky comes at a time when the Pittsburgh Steelers are searching for a starting quarterback. After losing Ben Roethlisberger to retirement last month‚ the team is still looking to find a suitable replacement. Although a free agent‚ Trubisky had previously signed with the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills. He has proven himself in the college game‚ and is now a top candidate for the starter's position. While the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Trubisky‚ they are still evaluating whether he is right for the team.
Many thought the former Bears first-round pick would be better suited to backup Ben Roethlisberger. However‚ Trubisky's erratic play left the Steelers looking for a new quarterback. It was reported that Mason Rudolph‚ who had been on the bench in Buffalo for a year‚ was in line for the job.
Well, Mitchell Trubisky fans… you’re about to see if it was just Matt Nagy or if it was indeed Trubisky.
