Overview

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Mason Rudolph to a two-year, $8 million contract with $4.5 million guaranteed.
  • Rudolph, 29, returns to Pittsburgh after spending last season with the Tennessee Titans, where he started five games and went 1-4.
  • The Steelers are reportedly pursuing free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings also in contention for the 41-year-old's services.
  • If Rodgers declines Pittsburgh's offer, other options for the Steelers include potentially targeting Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins, though both come with uncertainties.
  • Rudolph is expected to serve as a backup quarterback, providing experience to a roster that currently lacks a clear starting QB.
