Mitch trubisky was released by the pittsburgh steelers on monday, and rumors about his future have surfaced about him. Tony grossi, a well-known writer in cleveland, has an idea where trubisky could go: the cleveland browns, the steelers’ rival, to help replace joe flacco, who is likely to be out. Grossi said on espn cleveland, “mitch trubisky as a backup potential.” “when trubisky emerged from the draft, first and foremost, the paul depodesta and andrew berry regime was impressed with him. And there’s also the ken dorsey connection.
Trubisky moved from chicago to buffalo as the backup, with brian daboll as the coordinator at the time. Dorsey was the quarterbacks coach. I think trubisky will be the successor to ken dorsey,” trubisky, 29, started two games and three relief appearances for the steelers in 2023. When kenny pickett’s starter left the game with an injury, trubisky filled in for him three times, and after pickett sustained a serious ankle injury against the arizona cardinals on dec. 3, trubisky became the steelers’ starter.
Trubisky and the steelers didn’t go well as the team lost to the new england patriots and indianapolis colts in consecutive weeks, pushing their playoff hopes to the brink. Trubisky was benched at the conclusion of the colts game in favour of mason rudolph, and he did not return to action in 2023. Trubisky completed 67 of 107 passes for 632 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions on the season. He appeared in all five games for the steelers. The miserable 2023 season came on the heels of a disappointing 2022 season.
Trubisky was signed in 2022 with the intention of being the team’s starting quarterback, but after the team drafted pickett in the first round, trubisky was given the ball just four games into the season with a 1-3 record. He returned for three relief appearances, filling in for pickett, but with mixed results. In week 6, he out-duel tom brady and the tampa bay buccaneers, throwing for 144 yards and a touchdown in one half for his best statistical season as a steelers. In week 15, he also led a conservative ground-attack game plan against the carolina panthers.
