Mitchell Trubisky News
Monday, March 9, 9:46 AM
The Tennessee Titans agreed on an undisclosed two-year deal with free-agent quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on Monday, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Trubisky will head to Nashville, where he'll be the top backup to young signal-caller Cameron Ward, who is heading into just his second NFL season in 2026. The 31-year-old veteran spent the last two years with the Buffalo Bills as Josh Allen's backup, going 44-for-61 passing for 492 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions in 13 appearances (no starts). The former second overall pick by the Chicago Bears in 2017 out of North Carolina has completed just 64.4% of his career pass attempts for 13,028 yards, 78 touchdowns, and 48 interceptions in nine NFL seasons. With Trubisky now in town as QB insurance, the Titans are expected to move on from Will Levis (shoulder).

Cole Payton News
Friday, June 19, 5:50 AM
Eagles quarterback Cole Payton currently sits fourth on the Philadelphia depth chart behind Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and Andy Dalton, but his long-term fantasy upside is as high as any of the non-first-round quarterbacks selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Both McKee and Dalton are in the final year of their contracts, and while the former could potentially seek greener pastures elsewhere in 2027, the soon-to-be-39-year-old Dalton may choose to call it a career after his 16th season in the league. Ironically, it is the lefty Payton who is perhaps best equipped to run an offense similar to the one helmed by Hurts, serving as the only other dual-threat quarterback on the roster after rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns during his collegiate career at North Dakota State. At 6'3" and 223 pounds, and with the luxury of developing behind the scenes, Payton could eventually grow into one of the most fantasy-relevant backup quarterbacks in the league and is a must-stash player in superflex dynasty leagues.
