As the Pittsburgh Steelers ensured they’ll have beginning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger back for the 2021 season, they’ve currently guaranteed his backup Mason Rudolph will be expanded.
Pittsburgh has signed Rudolph to a one-year extension to sign him through 2022, the group declared Thursday. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport at first announced before in the day that the gatherings were near an arrangement.
A third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft for the Steelers, Rudolph has kicked off nine games more than two seasons instead of a harmed Roethlisberger (or a resting Roethlisberger just like the case for the season finale a year ago).
With Roethlisberger’s future past 2021 most certainly in doubt, Pittsburgh will in any event have a natural face in the 2022 QB room with beginning experience.
