When the Bears traded four draft picks to move up one spot and draft Mitch Trubisky, they were confident they’d solved their quarterback problems for the next decade or so.
Less than four years after the trade, Trubisky’s time with the Bears is over.
He is signing with the Buffalo Bills, ESPN said Thursday, ending his Bears career with two playoff appearances, one injury replacement Pro Bowl berth and 29 wins over 50 starts. He will back up starter Josh Allen.
Any thought Trubisky could return to the Bears was shot down when they agreed to sign quarterback Andy Dalton on Tuesday.
