The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly plan to meet with free agent QB Russell Wilson before the start of free agency, yet they’re still interested in Mason Rudolph. General manager Omar Khan confirmed the latter on Thursday—not touching the former subject with a 10-foot pole. But his tone strikes a less optimistic note than his comments at the NFL Scouting Combine.
On both occasions, Khan acknowledged the likelihood that Rudolph wants to test free agency. His latest comments during an interview with KDKA’s Richie Walsh for CBS Pittsburgh sound comparatively pessimistic.
“I believe he wants to come back and compete”, he said more than a week ago in Indianapolis.
