Insider for the Steelers puts brakes on Mason Rudolph’s impending departure from Pittsburgh

NFL Network insiders gave the impression that Mason Rudolph’s departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers was inevitable. However, it might not always be the case.

According to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, Rudolph signing with a new club is most likely the most likely course of events. But she said, during her appearance on the OSU podcast Two on February 14, that she doesn’t believe the quarterback has decided on his 2024 free agency yet.

“I think it’s kind of up in the air right now,” Pryor said to hosts Sam and Ben Hutchens. I’m really interested to watch what the Steelers do since it seems like they want to get Mason Rudolph back, but I’m not sure how Mason would fit into Arthur Smith’s new formation.

Given the kind of rollercoaster ride Mason has had throughout his career in Pittsburgh, where there was essentially an open quarterback competition between Pickett and Trubisky and Rudolph was supposedly supposed to be in the mix, I’m curious to see if he wants an opportunity to prove himself somewhere else.

“However, as we all know, it was essentially a sham competition—I hate to say that—as it was widely known that Trubisky, Pickett, and Rudolph would win.”

After the Steelers selected Kenny Pickett in the first round and signed Mitch Trubisky two years prior, Rudolph seemed to be forgotten. However, in Week 16, the Steelers started Rudolph in the starting lineup due to Pickett’s injury and Trubisky’s poor play.

The chance was seized by the fifth-year quarterback, who helped the Steelers win three straight games and make an unlikely playoff run.

The Probability of Mason Rudolph Joining the Pittsburgh Steelers Again
A month or so remains till free agency, and there are conflicting rumors regarding Rudolph’s potential return to Pittsburgh in 2024.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac and other local writers have not stopped emphasizing how much the Steelers desire Rudolph to return. National writers, including Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, have stated that Rudolph “has indicated” that he would want a new start somewhere.
