Breaking News: Steelers Quarterback Mason Rudolph Set to Leave Team in Free Agency
In a stunning turn of events, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has reportedly expressed his desire to sign with a new team in the upcoming free agency. This shocking revelation was brought to light by NFL.com insiders, who have been closely following the situation. Rudolph, who has been with the Steelers for the past six seasons after being drafted in the third round in 2018, is now seeking a fresh start elsewhere.
The potential departure of Rudolph adds to the uncertainty surrounding the Steelers’ quarterback situation. It has already been widely speculated that quarterback Mitch Trubisky will not be returning to the team next season. Now, with Rudolph’s impending departure, the Steelers will be left with only Kenny Pickett as their quarterback on the 2024 roster. This leaves the team with no choice but to search for two new quarterbacks, whether through free agency or the draft.
Despite the Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin and president Art Rooney II expressing their desire to re-sign Rudolph in free agency, it seems that the quarterback has made up his mind to explore other opportunities. While the team had private meetings with Rudolph and conveyed their intentions to keep him, Tomlin admitted that there is a possibility of Rudolph signing with another team.
“He is a free agent, and it is free agency,” Tomlin acknowledged during his post-season press conference on January 18. “So, we’ll see where that leads us.” The Steelers now face the challenge of finding a suitable replacement for Rudolph, as they navigate through the uncertainties of the off-season.
