Don’t look now, but Mason Rudolph is back in the black and gold. Right now, he’s penciled in as the No. 3 QB behind starter Kenny Pickett and his backup, Mitch Trubisky. But if one does the math, the Steelers’ No. 2 QB just might be too expensive, especially when the team is looking to sign star linebacker Alex Highsmith to a big new deal before the start of the regular season. Thus, Mason’s return to the team that drafted him in the third round back in 2018 just may make Trubisky expendable.
