The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback is a hot-button issue right now. That’s not going to change any time soon, especially not while it’s a current event. They released Mitch Trubisky just yesterday, and they still have to work on re-signing Mason Rudolph. If they want to do so before he hits free agency, I’m sure it would take a lot of convincing.
In an act of wish fulfillment, many including members of the media—particularly those on the radio, have convinced themselves that Steelers players are actively declaring their favoritism for one quarterback over the other. A loose reading of something WR Diontae Johnson said, for example, continues to resurface as a tacit endorsement for Rudolph to start over Kenny Pickett in 2024.
