PITTSBURGH — The decision to give Mitch Trubisky a new contract goes beyond providing the Steelers a quality backup — and proven relief pitcher — for Kenny Pickett for the next three seasons.
It will significantly lower the $10.625 million salary cap hit he was going to count for the 2023 season.
Trubisky's three-year deal is worth $19.65 million with $8 million guaranteed. The $8 million, which comes in the form of a $6.92 million signing bonus and a veteran minimum salary of $1.08 million in 2023, represents what he was originally due in salary this season.
