Former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has found a new home with the Buffalo Bills, where he’ll serve as the backup to Josh Allen.
Trubisky signed a one-year deal worth $2.5 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He’ll get a chance to work with Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who could help Trubisky turn his career around.
While Chicago ultimately wasted the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, they did get something in return for Trubisky. Although it’s not a lot considering the current state of things.
According to Over The Cap’s Nick Korte, the Bears are projected to receive a seventh-round compensatory pick in 2022 for Trubisky.
I'm surprised that Mitch Trubisky couldn't get more.
That''ll only be a 7th round valued 2022 compensatory pick on the board to the Bears. https://t.co/P4r6ErsStv

This should’ve been the second projected compensatory pick for Chicago. Former Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris signed a three year-deal worth $24.4 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Chicago was projected to receive a fifth-round compensatory pick in 2022.
But the Bears signed free agent quarterback Andy Dalton, effectively canceling out that compensatory pick.
