One of the biggest roster decisions of the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason will be related to backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Trubisky started the first four games of the season before being benched at halftime of the fourth game.
Trubisky will be in the final year of his contract in 2023, and if the Steelers keep him, he will come with a salary cap hit of $10.625 million. Pittsburgh has very little cap room heading into the start of free agency next month, so the team will be seeking ways to save money in order to re-sign the top in-house free agents.
So what will the Steelers do with Trubisky? Mason Rudolph is an unrestricted free agent, and it doesn’t seem very likely he will re-sign with Pittsburgh regardless of the circumstances. So unless the Steelers want to start over completely with the quarterback depth, they have to find a way to justify keeping Trubisky.
