Despite playing just five offensive snaps in the preseason finale Saturday at Acrisure Stadium against the Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers fifth-year quarterback Mason Rudolph continues to draw some trade interest, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Appearing on NFL Network’s NFL Now Monday, Rapoport revealed that Steelers GM Omar Khan is receiving some calls about a possible Rudolph trade, though the first-year GM said on the All Things Covered podcast Monday with former Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden that he doesn’t anticipate any changes at the QB position.
Still, with Rudolph’s experience, cap hit and overall abilities as a backup quarterback, there’s a market there for the former third-round pick, one that could develop enough for the Steelers to move him and roll with Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett as the two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster moving forward.
