The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a significant decision regarding their quarterback room by mutually parting ways with Mitchell Trubisky. This move, reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, allows Trubisky to enter free agency and seek opportunities with other teams despite having two years remaining on his contract.
Trubisky, who would have been owed $5.25 million in 2024, was unlikely to compete for the starting quarterback position in Pittsburgh. Despite initially being brought in to contend for the starting role two years ago, he was eventually benched in favor of Kenny Pickett. Trubisky struggled to reclaim the starting position, even when Pickett was sidelined due to injury.
This decision reflects a rapid shift in Trubisky’s fortunes with the Steelers. Despite the team’s initial confidence in him, evidenced by a contract extension just a year ago, circumstances changed quickly. Now, with the Steelers actively seeking a new veteran quarterback to compete with Pickett, Trubisky finds himself seeking opportunities elsewhere.
