The Pittsburgh Steelers have made some significant roster moves as they prepare for the upcoming season. On Monday, the team announced the release of quarterback Mitch Trubisky, offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor, and punter Pressley Harvin III.
Trubisky, a former No. 2 overall draft pick, joined the Steelers in March of 2022 with hopes of replacing the retired Ben Roethlisberger. However, his time in Pittsburgh was marred by inconsistency and poor performance. After starting four games, Trubisky was benched in favor of then-rookie Kenny Pickett. Trubisky was later given another opportunity while filling in for an injured Pickett but failed to impress. He struggled in losses against New England and Indianapolis before being replaced by Mason Rudolph, the third-string quarterback.
