The Steelers have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with free agent quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and plan to have him challenge Mason Rudolph as the replacement for Ben Roethlisberger, multiple sources have told the Post-Gazette.
The deal cannot become official until free agency begins on Wednesday.
Trubisky, 27, was the No. 2 overall selection in the 2017 draft by the Chicago Bears and spent last season as the backup quarterback to Josh Allen in Buffalo. The Steelers did not want to waste any time in agreeing to a deal to help provide competition and find an athletic quarterback to change the nature of the position.
