The Steelers have been looking for another quarterback since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. A month ago, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said that if the season started today, Mason Rudolph would start at quarterback. However, the team didn’t hide that they would be looking to acquire another QB before the 2022 season. Pittsburgh stated they were looking for a quarterback with mobility, so Trubisky looks like a good fit.
Trubisky played backup to Josh Allen last season, completing six passes for 43 yards in six games. He spent the previous four years with the Chicago Bears, where he put up 10,609 passing yards in 51 games. Trubisky is a former second overall pick from the 2017 NFL Draft and went to the Pro Bowl in 2018.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Pittsburgh Steelers are +3200 to win Super Bowl LVII.
