The Tennessee Titans needed a quality backup quarterback to second-year starter Cam Ward, and the team found one in a former No. 2 draft pick on Monday.
Career journeyman Mitch Trubisky, the No. 2 pick in 2017 with the Chicago Bears, has “agreed to terms” for a two-year contract with the Titans, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Trubisky’s agents with Excel Football informed Garafolo of the move.
Trubisky didn’t work out with the Bears in four seasons between 2017 and 2020, as the Bears stumbled through top picks to find Caleb Williams in 2023. After the failed Bears stint, Trubisky became a backup for the Buffalo Bills in 2021, and he then spent 2022 and 2023 with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Trubisky rejoined the Bills in 2024 as a free agent, and he backed up Josh Allen for another two seasons. In three seasons overall with the Bills, Trubisky never started a game in place of Allen, but the former North Carolina standout completed 72.5% of his passes for 535 yards and six touchdowns versus an interception.
Pittsburgh, however, started Trubisky in seven games over two seasons. He arrived in Pittsburgh as a potential starter in a competition with former first-round pick Kenny Pickett.
It didn’t work out for Trubisky as he completed 65% of his passes for 1,252 yards and four touchdowns versus five interceptions. The following season, Trubisky lost both of his starts and completed 62.6% of his passes for 632 yards for four touchdowns versus five interceptions.
Trubisky previously started 50 games for the Bears in his first four seasons, and he completed 64% of his passes for 10,609 yards and 64 touchdowns versus 37 picks. He made the Pro Bowl in his second season, the best year of his career, but he never lived up to the billing after that.
Tennessee at least has a solid backup in Trubisky, who can fill in if Ward goes down in 2026.
