When Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II spoke to the media at the end of the season, he hinted that the team wants to keep quarterback Mitch Trubisky on the roster. But at this point, Trubisky holds all the leverage in this situation and has no reason to make life easier for the Steelers.
Trubisky is due $8 million in base salary in 2023. This is the amount the Steelers would save if they chose to release Trubisky instead. But with the Steelers tight on cap space, if they do want to keep Trubisky there, they are sure to want to ask him to restructure his contract.
