“To reunite with these guys, this team and really playing this offensive system that’s friendly to the QB, something I’m familiar with, that I think helps my skillset… So, I was very excited about it.”
As for what he learned during his tenure with the Steelers, “I definitely had some ups and downs in Pittsburgh,” he said. “I learned a lot more about what not to do and things I don’t like necessarily. Just being able to voice those opinions and have those opinions be heard I think is important.”
Trubisky signed a two-year, $5.25 million contract with the Bills, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, which includes $2.7 million guaranteed. “The deal maxes out at $8.45M with incentives tied to playtime plus wins.”
The North Carolina alum mentioned there were “a few spots” in his mind of where’d he like to go, but Buffalo was at the top of the list. To “join a contender” and reunite with Allen, “It just felt like a no-brainer,” the 29-year-old said.
“I was thankful the Steelers released earlier than free agency actually started,” Trubisky noted. “My agent was able to start talking to some teams. I took a very relaxed approach. I just had a feeling that I would end up exactly where I was supposed to be… It felt like coming home in the end.”
