In the latest news from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the organization is considering bringing back quarterback Mason Rudolph to compete for the starting job alongside Kenny Pickett. The Steelers have the ability to make this happen before the opening of free agency by presenting Rudolph with an irresistible offer and assuring him of an open competition, according to sources.
Head coach Mike Tomlin and team president Art Rooney II have expressed their desire to re-sign Rudolph, especially given the uncertainty surrounding Pickett and Rudolph's strong performance in the latter part of the season. As the Steelers weigh their options, they are looking to create a level playing field for both quarterbacks in the upcoming season.
In other news, the Steelers are receiving recognition from prominent NFL figures, as brothers Jason and Travis Kelce have shown support for the team. The Kelce brothers, on their podcast "New Heights," are hosting a tournament on X (formerly known as Twitter) to determine the best team name in the NFL. The Steelers faced off against the Houston Texans in the tournament's first round and advanced to the next round against the Baltimore Ravens, with both Kelce brothers favoring the Steelers.
Looking ahead, an exciting opportunity awaits the Steelers in the 2024 season. The NFL recently announced that the Philadelphia Eagles will host their Week 1 game in São Paulo, Brazil, marking the return of international games. This development opens up a potential opportunity for the Steelers to play the Eagles as their season-opener. While Pittsburgh had not been initially scheduled for an international game in 2024, the possibility of showcasing their talent in Brazil adds a new level of excitement for the team and fans alike.
As the Steelers contemplate Rudolph's future with the team and the potential international game in 2024, anticipation continues to build within the organization. Stay tuned for more updates on these stories and more as the offseason progresses.
