Mitch Trubisky played on a $29 million rookie contract for four years with the Chicago Bears, and he’s coming off a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Buffalo Bills. Now, multiple NFL insiders say the 27-year-old quarterback is about to cash in.
ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler pegged Trubisky, who is a free agent, as one player who is about to surprise some folks with the deal he signs this offseason. “A few players have emerged as candidates for ‘wow’ numbers early in free-agency talks,” Fowler wrote on March 6.
According to Fowler, backing up Bills QB Josh Allen and learning a new offense in Buffalo under ex-offensive coordinator (and current New York Giants coach) Brian Daboll was one of the best things Trubisky could have done for his career.
