Life without Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh is going to start with… Mitchell Trubisky as the team’s new starting QB?
According to reports, the answer to that question is yes, as the two sides have agreed on a two-year deal per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo shortly after the NFL’s legal tampering period began at 12 p.m. ET this afternoon. The league’s new year officially begins on Wednesday and free agency news is going to be flying around this week.
Trubisky, of course, was taken No. 2 overall by the Bears in the 2017 NFL Draft and that relationship came to an end after four mediocre years. The QB spent last year as a backup in Buffalo.
Now it looks like he’s going to be a starter again:
The #Steelers have reached agreement on a two-year deal with QB Mitchell Trubisky, sources say. The former No. 2 overall pick heads to Pittsburgh as the expected starter in place of the retired Ben Roethlisberger.
