Titans Agree to Terms With Mitchell Trubisky

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).

Garrett Nussmeier News

Garrett Nussmeier has Late-Round Dynasty Value

Thursday, June 18, 6:00 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has decent long-term upside as a potential handcuff option for Patrick Mahomes' fantasy managers. Mahomes is currently recovering from a torn ACL, so Justin Fields is expected to start Week 1. Nussmeier might be able to jump Fields on the depth chart, but more than likely, he'll be the primary backup until Mahomes returns. The LSU product was projected to be a mid-round pick, but fell to the Chiefs in the seventh round. Nussmeier didn't look great during his senior year, but threw for over 4,000 yards in 2024. Mahomes will eventually take his starting gig back, but who knows what kind of toll that torn ACL will take on his body long-term. Nussmeier isn't a bad stash option, given he could be one injury away from the starting job.
