Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky threw for 2,055 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions in his final season as a Chicago Bear in 2020.<\/p>\n

Former Chicago Bears<\/a> quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is on the move once again. It was announced on March 9th that the nine-year veteran signal caller will be signing a two-year contract<\/a> with the Tennessee Titans<\/a>. Trubisky was the Bears\u2019 second overall pick in the 2017 NFL<\/a> Draft, and across 51 games played<\/a> with the organization, he racked up 10,609 passing yards, 1,057 rushing yards, and 72 total touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Trubisky went 29-22<\/a> with Chicago and led the team to an NFC North division title<\/a> in 2018. Despite ups and downs throughout his tenure as a Bear, the wheels really began to fall off during the 2020 season. Trubisky was benched in favor of Nick Foles in a Week 3<\/a> affair with the Atlanta Falcons and played the backup role until the team\u2019s Week 12<\/a> matchup with the Green Bay Packers<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trubisky would regain the starting role for the rest of the season and lead the team to its second playoff appearance<\/a> in two years. However, following the team\u2019s 21-9 loss to the Saints in the Wild Card Round,<\/a> the Bears would move off Trubisky in the offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trubisky admitted that he felt \u201cblindsided\u201d<\/a> by the Bears making him the backup quarterback, so the change of scenery was expected. That would only be the start of what has become a quite lucrative career for Trubisky.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Trubisky Has Earned Over $50 Million Across His Career\"Mitchell<\/p>\n

Trubisky landed as a backup quarterback in Buffalo and backed up Josh Allen for a season in 2021 before landing another starting opportunity with the Steelers<\/a> in 2022. Trubisky signed a two-year contract <\/a>with Pittsburgh in hopes of reviving his career as a starter. While he would begin the season as a starter, he would eventually be relegated to a backup once again as the Steelers\u2019 first-round pick, Kenny Pickett, would replace him in Week 4<\/a> of that season. Pickett would end up taking the reins from there.<\/p>\n

Trubisky would spend 2023 in Pittsburgh before reuniting with Buffalo in 2024 and 2025. The biggest highlight of Trubisky\u2019s career since Chicago came in Week 18<\/a> of last season, where he posted four touchdowns against the New York Jets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trubisky has now parlayed his time in Buffalo into another opportunity, and while the exact contract details haven\u2019t been revealed yet, he is set to add to his already impressive career earnings. Across his first nine years in the league, Trubisky has racked up $51.2 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trubisky Isn\u2019t The Only Bears QB To Sign A New Deal\"Case<\/p>\n

Among other Bears quarterbacks who signed a new contract on the opening day of free agency, Case Keenum joined the club. Keenum re-signed with Chicago, extending his initial contract two more years. Keenum initially signed on last offseason to support Caleb Williams during his sophomore year as the third-string quarterback. Keenum will continue in a mentorship role for Williams on a $5.5 million deal. This move could also indicate a potential Tyson Bagent move. The Bears\u2019 second-string quarterback has been in several trade rumors<\/a> throughout the offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

General manager Ryan Poles admitted that they have received interest in Bagent and that while the team would prefer to keep him, they are listening to offers. \u201cWe\u2019ve gotten a few calls there,\u201d Poles said in February<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s a really tough decision for us. But for Tyson as well, I think he would have the opportunity to go perform for a team and do some really good things. But again, you have to weigh the short-term and long-term.\u201d<\/p>\n

The short-term appears to be affected more and more as the free agency period unfolds, and Bears fans will just have to wait and see what the future could hold for Tyson Bagent.<\/p>\n
