Trubisky will resume his duties in Buffalo of being backup to Josh Allen. In 2021, the Bills signed Trubisky to a one-year deal to do just that. The idea for Trubisky to take a year as a No. 2 and wait for an opportunity to sign elsewhere the following offseason.

Trubisky went on to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers and played there the past two years.

The 29-year-old was able to sign with the Bills because the Steelers had already released him. Free agency does not open until next week, however, that relates to players still under contract. Trubisky was not.

In seven seasons, Trubisky has started 57 games, thrown for 12,536 yards, 72 touchdowns and 48 interceptions.
