Trubisky, who will turn 30 in August, was set to earn $4.25 million next season. With bonuses, the cap hit would’ve been $7.556 million, or 3.1 percent of the team’s limit.
In seven starts, Trubisky had a 2-5 record. He threw for 1,884 yards, eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
With the Trubisky era coming to an end, the Steelers are now tasked with finding a replacement to back up Kenny Pickett or take over the reins while Pickett develops in a reserve role.
The #Steelers and QB Mitchell Trubisky have decided to mutually part ways, sources say. The sides spoke to assess the situation and Trubisky, 29, gets a fresh start just over a month ahead of the start of the league year and free agency. pic.twitter.com/FqEFhqcuei
