Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Thursday that the team’s intention is to provide Kenny Pickett competition at the quarterback position. The only problem is the player people anticipate being that challenger is the one who is not under contract for the 2024 season.
That would be Mason Rudolph, who started the final four games. That included a generally solid showing in the team’s postseason defeat by the Buffalo Bills, marred largely by a crucial red-zone interception. His insertion into the lineup with three games left in the regular season, however, sparked a turnaround that got them into the postseason in the first place.
