Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky appears likely to return to one of his former teams following his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Trubisky is in talks with the Buffalo Bills to return as their backup, according to Tim Graham of The Athletic. The quarterback can sign at any time, as the Steelers released him last month.
Trubisky spent the 2021 season in a similar role and won a lot of praise for his work backing up Josh Allen. At the time, he was so well-regarded that he was expected to land a chance to start.
His tenure with the Steelers went poorly, however, and he wound up going 2-5 in just seven starts over two seasons.
At this point, Trubisky’s future is probably as a steady veteran backup. Going back to the Bills, where he gained that reputation, is a smart play, and it should be a comfortable move for him.
