Titans Sign Former Bills QB to Two-Year Deal

The Tennessee Titans have officially kicked off their highly-anticipated stint in free agency with the signing of backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky. After a reliable run with the Buffalo Bills, Trubisky's move to Nashville signifies a more high-profile position.

The two-year agreement, according to Mike Garafolo, will see Trubisky step into a veteran role on the sideline, accompanying franchise face Cam Ward as he continues to come into his own as the Titans' leading man.

Having thrown for four touchdowns in his most recent campaign in Buffalo (to no interceptions), the rumored depth signing made sense from the jump for a Tennessee team under a new staff that has, thus far, heavily valued experience in their decisions.

Trubisky Brings Experience

Trubisky (31) brings exactly that to Brian Daboll's offense. This may not be the explosive addition fans were hoping for right out of the gate, but it makes sense for a team - and regime - working to stick around for the long haul.

As Ward continues to recover from his right shoulder injury this offseason, too, having Trubisky as a sort of safety net will be an invaluable comfort for a Titans team that has taken on a win-now identity.

Next, the kicker for Tennessee as free agency chugs along in all facets was finding at least one receiver for these two to throw the football to. Currently suited with one of the least experienced, most ineffectual WR rooms in the NFL, the Titans were in dire need of an addition at that position next.

Looking to the WR Room

Of course, Wan'Dale Robinson came shortly thereafter as Tennessee's answer that regard. It didn't take the Titans' brass long to follow up on their biggest need in Trubisky's wake, strengthening the offense across the board within hours of the gates opening.

That, along with the additional signing of a big-body tight end, has Tennessee slated with offense-heavy moves from the jump in what is already building up to be their most eventful offseason in years. Robert Saleh and his staff are wasting no time in making necessary improvements to the quickly rebuilding roster.

Fans should keep their eyes out for more, potentially bigger moves, but this is a promising start for a team with plenty more money left to spend. The chaos has only just begun for Titans football in Tennessee.
