Pittsburgh Steelers and QB Mitch Trubisky 'finishing up extension,' GM Omar Khan says
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The Pittsburgh Steelers are ensuring the quarterback room remains consistent heading into the 2023-24 season.
On the Thursday edition of the Pat McAfee Show, Steelers General Manager Omar Khan announced that QB Mitch Trubisky is finalizing a contract extension with the Steelers.
"We're finishing up an extension with Mitch Trubisky. We feel good about our quarterback room, so that was an important piece. We got Kenny Pickett, who's our starter. We feel really good about Mitch Trubisky in the role he's in," Khan said.
Ian Rapoport, of the NFL Network, added to the report, citing it will be a 2-year deal that lowers the cap number of Trubisky for the 2023-24 season.
