Player: QB Mason Rudolph
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Mason Rudolph becomes more valuable to the Steelers the longer the Aaron Rodgers situation goes unresolved. At least for now, there is a non-zero chance he enters this season as a starter. Indeed, Rodgers’ delay helped strengthen that by limiting the Steelers’ veteran alternative options.
If the Steelers enter the 2025 season with Mason Rudolph starting at quarterback, he has Aaron Rodgers to thank. While Rodgers contemplates retirement, Rudolph is gearing up for the season. He is only one of two quarterbacks on the current roster, and the one clearly on top of the pecking order.
