Pittsburgh Steelers ‘comfortable’ with Mason Rudolph as starting quarterback

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is staying in contact with free agent Aaron Rodgers while also expressing comfort with Mason Rudolph as a potential starting quarterback for the team.
The Steelers are considering their quarterback options for the 2025 season after allowing Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to leave in free agency, and having not won a playoff game since 2016.
Rudolph, a veteran quarterback drafted by the Steelers in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, had a strong finish to the 2023 season, leading the team to a 3-1 record and a playoff berth, though they lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card game.
Tomlin stated on Monday at the league's annual meetings, "That's why we brought him back," referring to Rudolph and also noted, "He's been around, been in multiple systems and situations."
Despite the possibility of signing Rodgers or considering quarterbacks like Jaxson Dart in the upcoming draft where the Steelers hold the 21st overall pick, Tomlin has no specific deadline for making a decision and is comfortable with the team's current quarterback situation.
