Odds that Rudolph gets traded before the regular season?
I'm hearing yes and no in the media. Barring injury to any of the QB's I say it's 80/20 that he's outta here.
 
Hmmm….not sure what the market value would be for a trade. Baker going for a conditional 5th round to me made Rudolph’s trade value even less possibly-I could be wrong. I think him being released and picked up by someone else is a stronger chance, but Garoppolo has a chance to be released prior to opening day. Maybe they sit in Rudy and he becomes trade material by the trade deadline mid season to a team with a QB need that lost their QB to injury.
 
I want to see him win the #1 QB spot, just to see all the haters heads explode. I personally think Mitch has a much harder road, as he has the most pressure on him.
 
Rudy is serviceable and will always be a back-up. Drafting Pickett sealed his fate here. He may back-up Trubisky this year and let KP learn behind the vets. That's if he's not moved for a pick to a desperate team needing a QB.
 
Unless a team needs a backup QB, I see him staying where he is. Right now, he isn't worth much, and I doubt the Steeler phone is ringing.
They'll keep 3 QB's and he'll be one of them. It will be interesting to see who gets a hat on gameday.

Unless someone offers something stupid or the other rookie really really impresses I would reverse those odds. I think he is the 2 this year based on readiness.

In fact, Jim has written that Rudolph may well be the starter for Game 1. His reasons why are interesting. He's always worth a listen.

I feel that I could honestly say to Wexell that Rudolph's chances are just a slight bit better than his of starting if Trubisky stays healthy. The Steelers know exactly what Rudolph is. If he starts they look like ****** idiots for bringing Trubisky in. One certain with the Steelers. Follow the $.
 
Steelers most definitely know what they have in Mason since they've seen his body of work for four seasons now. He's not the most mobile guy so that limits him in Canada's offense so there's that. Barring an injury to Mitch or Kenny I think they move him end of camp if not a bit sooner. Didn't invest #20 pick on Kenny tp be third sting and not even get a helmet. I want to see Kenny and Mitch take lots of the snaps this summer and in the abbreviated pre season games. Already have seen enough of Mason and his first round pedigree the Steelers gave him.
As far as a return for Mason! Depends what the trade partner is looking for. I would assume a back-up to their starter so a sixth perhaps. Depends how desperate that team happens to be.

I think someone will have a qb injury and will give us a fifth for him… again his stats aren’t as bad as people make them out to be.

That’s what I’m thinking. Someone else’s #1 or #2 goes on IR and they’ll be calling.

Did anyone happen to hear this report? The only reason I could anticipate Rudolph starting the season is if the team wanted to cement itself as a mediocre team and provide the fans with zero excitement.
