Mitchell Trubisky Doesn’t Know That He Wasn’t Cut By The Bears

Former first round draft pick Mitchell Trubisky didn’t pan out for the Chicago Bears.

After his four seasons of unimpressive play with the team, the Bears made the seemingly obvious decision to let Trubisky walk during free agency this season.

Mitch ended up landing with the Buffalo as Josh Allen’s backup, but he seems like he’s a little bit confused with how things ended with the Bears.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano spent a couple days covering the Bills Training Camp, and he shared a hilarious tidbit about Mitchell Trubisky.

Per Graziano:

“(Bills) Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, in a meeting early in camp, asked every offensive player and coach to stand up. ‘If you’re a coach and you’ve ever been fired, sit down,’ Daboll said, and every coach in the room sat down. ‘OK,’ Daboll continued. ‘If you’re a player and you’ve ever been cut or traded, sit down.’ A large group of players sat down. ‘If you weren’t picked in the first round, sit down,’ Daboll said, and suddenly the only person in the room still standing was Allen. (The only other first-rounder on Buffalo’s offense is backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who sat down with the cut-or-traded group, even though he technically wasn’t cut nor traded by the Bears, just not re-signed.)”

I mean, Mitchell Trubisky should have a chip on his shoulders. He was made out to be the scapegoat in Chicago, and now has an entire city celebrating the fact that he’s no longer their quarterback.

But this story is just too on-brand with the notion that Trubisky isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed that it’s impossible not to laugh a little bit.

Despite the “bust” label being slapped on already, Josh Allen says that Mitchell Trubisky is fitting in great at Bills Training Camp.

“Mitch has been awesome. He’s quickly developing into one of my good friends. He comes with a great attitude each and every day. He’s working his tail off,” Allen said on July 30, via Bills Wire. “He’s not afraid to ask questions about the offense and he’s here to help the team win in whatever way that might be. We’re lucky to have him, I’ll tell you that.”

Maybe the Bills will be the right fit to turn Mitchell Trubisky’s career around. But someone might want to let him know that he was never actually cut by the Bears.
