The Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, the team announced Thursday.

Trubisky's deal is a two-year, $5.25-million pact that maximizes at $8.45 million after incentives, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Trubisky returns to Buffalo after previously playing for the Bills in 2021. He appeared in six games during his lone campaign with the AFC East club but saw limited snaps backing up starter Josh Allen.

The Pittsburgh Steelers released the 29-year-old passer in February after two seasons. Trubisky started the first four contests of the 2022 season for the Steelers. He was later benched in favor of then-rookie Kenny Pickett.

The former second overall pick started two of the five games he appeared in during the 2023 campaign. But Trubisky was unable to maintain the starting role in limited opportunities behind both Pickett and Mason Rudolph.

The former North Carolina star will now have the chance to fill a familiar role for the Bills next season. Kyle Allen, Buffalo's backup QB last season, is set to become a free agent later this month.
