Quarterback Mitch Trubisky was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday, one year after the team signed him to a two-year contract extension.
The 29-year-old signed with the Steelers in 2022 after beginning his career with the Chicago Bears, who picked him as the second overall choice in the 2017 draft. He subsequently played as a QB2 with the Buffalo Bills in 2021.
In his first season in Pittsburgh, Trubisky started as the first-choice quarterback, with youngster Kenny Pickett filling in as his understudy. Coach Mike Tomlin dropped Trubisky for Pickett after Trubisky had a 2-3 record in his first five outings.
In the 2023 season, Trubisky only started two games, both of which ended in losses. He will now probably be considered a backup in another team in the league.
