When the Pittsburgh Steeler extended Mitch Trubisky, it initially came as a bit of a shock. Many assumed that Trubisky would want an opportunity to become a starting QB somewhere else after the 2023 season when his two-year deal he initially signed last offseason would expire.
However, Trubisky expressed his desire to stay in Pittsburgh shortly after the news on his extension was announced, stating his love for the city and the team’s desire to keep him here for the foreseeable future as reasons why he committed to with the Steelers through 2025.
Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports recently published his 2023 NFL backup QB rankings, placing Trubisky at #9 as the clear backup behind starter Kenny Pickett.
