Former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky has found a new home with the Buffalo Bills, where he’ll serve as the backup to Josh Allen.

Trubisky signed a one-year deal worth $2.5 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. But he’ll get a chance to work with Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who could certainly help Trubisky turn his career around.

While Chicago ultimately wasted the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, they did get something in return for Trubisky’s departure. Although it’s not a lot considering the current state of things.

According to Over The Cap’s Nick Korte, the Bears are projected to receive a seventh-round compensatory pick in 2022 for Trubisky.

This should’ve been the second 2022 compensatory pick for Chicago. Former Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris signed a three year-deal worth $24.4 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Chicago was projected to receive a fifth-round compensatory pick in 2022.

But with the Bears signing quarterback Andy Dalton, that effectively cancels out that compensatory pick. Which doesn’t help the Dalton situation.

Right now, where it stands, Chicago has a seventh-round compensatory pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
