Trubisky will sign a two-year deal with the Steelers, NFL Media first reported Monday. He's likely to be the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh following Ben Roethlisberger's retirement after 18 NFL seasons.

The No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Trubisky played in 51 games for Chicago over four seasons from 2017-'20. The Bears declined his fifth-year option for 2021, and he was the Bills' backup quarterback last season.

Trubisky, who will turn 28 in August, has completed 64.1% of his passes for 10,652 yards, 64 touchdowns and 38 interceptions in his five-year NFL career. The Bears were 29-21 in his 50 starts at quarterback in Chicago.

Trubisky appeared in six games for the Bills in 2021, attempting just eight passes. He'll join a Steelers team that went 9-7-1 last season before losing in the wild-card round.

The Bears replaced Trubisky at quarterback with Justin Fields, whom they traded up to select with the No. 11 overall pick in the NFL Draft in 2021.
