Quarterback Mitch Trubisky has agreed to a deal that will see him reunite with the Buffalo Bills. Trubisky will serve as a backup to star signal-caller Josh Allen.

Trubisky became a free agent after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers last month. According to reports, he inked a two-year contract with the Bills that is worth $5.25 million.

Trubisky spent the 2021 season with the Bills, attempting eight passes and accounting for one rushing touchdown. He then signed a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting the first four games of the 2022 campaign before being benched in favor of rookie Kenny Pickett. Trubisky received two starts in the 2023 season after Pickett went down with a shoulder injury in Week 13 before losing the job once again to third-stringer Mason Rudolph.

Despite his struggles in recent seasons, Trubisky should be a good pickup for the Bills. He knows the system and comes on a relatively cheap deal. Buffalo needed another QB since last season’s backup, Kyle Allen, is set to become a free agent. 

Mitch Trubisky spent the first four years of his career with the Chicago Bears, who selected him second overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has a 31-26 record as a starter in the NFL and has thrown for 1,2536 yards, 72 touchdowns, and 48 interceptions. Trubisky has one Pro Bowl nod to his name.
