NASHVILLE – Mitchell Trubisky came to Tennessee because he liked the opportunity.
Now, the veteran quarterback is ready to help the team any way he can, as a competitor, a mentor, or any way he's needed.
"Just a great opportunity for me and my family," Trubisky said. "Excited to take on a new challenge.
"I would say my familiarity with (the coaches) and the offense is the big reason I came here. I wanted stay in an offense I knew very well and felt confident in, and I wanted to be pushed by coaches who have coached me before and also know how I work, and my skill set and know what I can bring to the team."
The Titans signed Trubisky back in March, reuniting him with Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, as they were together in Buffalo.
Trubisky, 31, was a first-round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft of the Chicago Bears, who took him second overall.
In his NFL career, Trubisky is 31-26 as a starter, with most of those starts coming in his first four years while in Chicago. Trubisky has also spent time with the Bills and Steelers, where he started seven games and played in 12 in 2022-23.
In Tennessee, he's been off to an impressive start in practices, while working behind starter Cam Ward and being coached by Daboll and quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney, another guy he was with in Buffalo.
"Super pumped (to be here)," Trubisky said. "I had so much fun with (Daboll and Tierney) back in Buffalo a few years ago. When I had an opportunity to come back with them, it was pretty much a no-brainer. Coming here, working with Cam, working with Dabes and Shea, it has been a lot of fun so far, getting back in the offense. It's a great scheme.
"At this point of my career I feel like I have a lot to offer as a mentor and Cam being young, we've have a great relationship so far and I am looking forward to helping him in any way I can and take the next step but also these young guys. Not only Cam but everyone on this team. It is a fairly young team overall. I am getting up there with my experience, but I feel like I have a lot to offer. I love being a great teammate, and I love working hard. It was a great opportunity to come here, and I look forward to playing with coach (Robert) Saleh and coach Dabes."
In three open OTA practices so far, Trubisky has completed 45-of-55 passes in the 7-on-7 and team periods combined.
Trubisky played in 13 games for the Bills behind starter Josh Allen in 2024 and 2025, but he did not start a game during those two years in Buffalo. Trubisky was 19-of-26 for 179 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in 2025 with the Bills.
In nine NFL seasons, Trubisky has thrown for 13,028 yards and 78 touchdowns with 48 interceptions and a passer rating of 86.9.
"My job is to come out here and work," Trubisky said. "I know it is a mentor type role, me being in Year 10 and Cam being in Year 2. My job here is to help Cam as much as possible to be the best player he can possibly be. I am happy to be here to support him, and I am definitely willing to help, to be the best teammate I could possibly be and help this franchise win in any way possible. I love the game of football. I love the team camaraderie aspect, pushing each other, and I love competing every day and trying to be the best I can possibly be at my craft."
