The Pittsburgh steelers were very publicly on the market for a new quarter-Arrière. Thursday, they finally won one, and it’s a familiar face. According to NFL MediaThe Steelers sign Mason Rudolph to a two -year agreement which will pay him a total of $ 8 million, including $ 4.5 million.
Rudolph spent last season with the Titans du Tennessee, where he first fell Will Levis, but finally took over as a starter for a period of five games. During his eight appearances, he completed 64% of his passes to an average of 6.7 yards per attempt, with nine affected and nine interceptions. Tennessee went 1-4 to its starts.
Rudolph, of course, spent the first six years of his career in Pittsburgh. He did not play as a recruit but made eight departures during his second campaign, going 5-3 while launching 13 affected and nine choices. He only made five more departures during his stay with the Steelers, going 3-1-1. For his career, Rudolph completed 437 of the 686 passes for 4,615 yards, 28 affected and 20 interceptions.
He has never been a particularly effective or explosive passer, and his 9-8-1 career record is largely a result if she played alongside what was systematically an excellent defense of the Steelers. His teams have an average of 20.5 points per game on average during his 18 career departures, and this includes a trio of scores by his defense or special teams.
However, the Steelers desperately needed someone In their quarter room, and they obviously have familiarity and comfort with Rudolph form its prolonged passage with the team. Time will tell us if they add another quarter to Aaron Rodgers, will take Russell Wilson or do something else, but for the moment, they have a veteran in the mixture.
