Mason Rudolph appears to be "plan A" for the Pittsburgh Steelers when searching for Kenny Pickett's competition.

00:00 As of right now, where the Steelers stand, it is quarterback one, Kenny Pickett, quarterback
00:06 one B, Mason Rudolph. I expect Mason Rudolph to sign either with the Pittsburgh Steelers or with
00:11 another team, like one, two, three days max into free agency. He's not sitting around. There's no
00:17 way he's going to be like, "Oh, well, I'll hold out for the best opportunity." Money's decreasing
00:21 by the second every time, every day that passes, and he is not with a new team. And if teams want
00:28 him, if somebody calls him and says, "Hey, we're going to be a starter," he's not like, "I'm going
00:31 to contemplate my... I'm going to really think about this." You know what I mean? Somebody's
00:35 signing him within the first 72 hours of free agency. If he goes elsewhere, that's when I think
00:42 the Pittsburgh Steelers' plan B comes into action. That's when a splash can be made. That's when
00:46 you start considering a Justin Fields, you start considering a Russell Wilson. I still think Kirk
00:52 Cousins is so expensive that you just do not go and get him. But I think you start looking at plan
00:57 B then. But I don't think the Steelers... I think the internal division kind of just shows you
01:02 the Steelers are not 100% in on Kenny Pickett. And if plan A goes awry,
01:07 they're going to look for plan B. And I don't know if they have a plan B yet, but it'll come up
01:12 in that time frame. And that's when we can start thinking about
01:16 the big splash, the big changes at the quarterback.
