PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut quarterback Mitch Trubisky, sending the former No. 2 overall draft pick into free agency after two disappointing seasons. Trubisky signed with the Steelers in March 2022 and was given first crack at replacing the retired Ben Roethlisberger. Trubisky started four games before being benched in favor of then-rookie Kenny Pickett. Trubisky struggled again this season while filling in for an injured Pickett, losing two starts before being replaced by third-stringer Mason Rudolph. The Steelers also cut offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor and punter Pressley Harvin III on Monday.
