Pittsburgh Steelers — Mitch Trubisky
Base Salary: $8,000,000
Trubisky is essentially getting $8 million to be the primary back-up to Kenny Pickett. That is a rather bloated number for a reserve in today’s NFL. It’s even more so the case when looking at Trubisky as a player. Often lauded more for his physical tools rather than his actual on-field production, Trubisky has accrued a 31-24 record over the course of his career. We’d have to think Pittsburgh will move off of him for a cheaper, younger option after his deal expires.
