The former Bears quarterback discussed apologies he received for having to play in Matt Nagy’s offense.
Getty Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky spent the 2021 season as a backup with the Buffalo Bills. Former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is set to be a free agent once again. Trubisky spent his first four years in Chicago before heading to New York for the 2021 season, where he backed up Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen on a one-year, $2.5 million deal. The Bears also moved on, signing veteran Andy Dalton to a one-year contract while drafting QB Justin Fields 11th overall pick. As it did during Trubisky’s tenure, Chicago’s offense struggled with Matt Nagy at the helm, finishing 30th in passing (188.6 yards per game),24th in total offense (307.4 yards a game) and 27th in points scored (18.3 per game). Trubisky, however, got to work with one of the NFL’s top offenses. The Bills finished 3rd in scoring (28.4 points a game),5th in total offense (381.9 yards a game) and 9th in passing (252.0 yards per contest), and Trubisky honed his craft all season as scout team quarterback, helping to prep Buffalo’s defense each week. In an interview with Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, Trubisky talked about his future, his time with the Bills, and also got candid about his time in the Windy City.
