Mitch Trubisky agrees to two-year deal with Steelers

[AZProgressive]

The Steelers may have found Ben Roethlisberger’s successor.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Steelers have reached an agreement with Mitch Trubisky. It’s a two-year deal for Trubisky in Pittsburgh and no financial terms have been disclosed.

Roethlisberger announced his retirement after the Steelers lost to the Chiefs in the playoffs, so Trubisky joins a quarterback depth chart that also includes Mason Rudolph and restricted free agent Dwayne Haskins.

General Manager Kevin Colbert said in February that Rudolph would be the starter if the season were starting, but Trubisky’s arrival represents a big change. At the very least, they’ll compete for the starting job and it’s unlikely the Steelers would have made a multi-year commitment to him if they felt he was unlikely to give them an upgrade on what they’ve seen from Rudolph the last few years.

1. Surprised at this

Choices thinning for the 49ers' Garoppola salary dump

3. I'm not

I think it is a pretty good fit. I think the Commanders will be looking like total fools about half way through the season given what they gave up to secure Wentz.

2. About to prove what an absolute hack Matt Nagy was

Can't say I like the Steelers, but they are well coached and I think Trubinsky will do a good job for them.

5. Just last week I saw that The Giants were after him

I guess not. Not now anyway.

4. Trubisky could do well there

It appears the Steelers don't see quarterback savior in the draft and aren't going to sell the farm to get a star QB half-way through his career like Denver did. They're taking the same path the Patriots did when Brady left. Build the rest of the team with a QB that'll get you by until the right one at the right price comes along. Good move in my opinion.

6. Trubisky? The Steelers can do better than that.

7. I remember when Malone from Arizona State was brought in to follow Bradshaw

Steelers need a little more than a quarterback. I surmise Trubisky is the place holder while they plug holes in other places.
