I can't say that I blame Rudolph for feeling this way. He did get screwed in his time here. Between Roethlisberger undermining him, Tomlin lying to him, management surrounding him with a talentless o-line and having an OC with the intelligence of a Lamar Jackson and Dwayne Haskins, he had no chance. I wish him all the best and I hope he gets an opportunity somewhere.

not sure what the story is here. Mason had his chances here and the Steelers made it very clear he's not part of their future. Sucks for him, but at least there was no confusion about where he stands with the front office and the coaches. It will be interesting to see what they do with Mitch now. He's a heavy cap hit next year for a #2 - and with Mason leaving, they need a viable backup. Maybe Josh Dobbs to the rescue?
But I'd say the lead pipe lock pick of the year was that Rudolph wouldn't be a Steeler this Sept......
2014 MNF EXEC CHAMPION!!!
And I don't doubt there are some players that don't want to play in a 'small town' like Pittsburgh but would prefer LA or NY. Every FA makes a choice based on his personal preferences and financial situation. Didn't the Steelers have a player that decided to leave after his contract to go back to his hometown (New Orleans?)?
So, what you say may be true. But there is no public evidence of it.
Nothing is promised in the NFL. Depth charts and playing time can change based on a variety of factors.

MR had a legit chance to prove himself in 2019 when Ben was out for the season. Between MR and Duck Hodges at QB the Steelers finished 8-8 so I have no sympathy the guy.
Obviously the standard is the standard.
yeah.. that was his shot. Feel bad for him because I thought he was starting to play well before he was concussed.
I think he rushed back too quickly from that concussion because he knew this was his shot.
But I really don’t feel too bad for players who can’t crack the lineup. I also have no issue with players who want to be released to try and get PT on another team. Its a business.

"Tomlin Lying to him?" More hearsay...got any proof or just another false anti-tomlin lie?
More lying about Tomlin on this board than he has ever done to players

"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
I highly doubt Tomlin is telling players they have a starting position that can’t be lost to competition if they sign with us.

I've got a bit of sympathy for him. Here's why...
Let's be truthful, ....we don't know if we had (or have) the right guys to develop a starting QB in this league. Most teams in this league don't. Which is another reason why all these highly rated QB's come out of college and bust; they just don't bust because of there doing; they bust also because there is maybe 15 entities in this league who know how to develop QB's. Maybe.
So If he can get with one of those entities, that would be the best thing for his career at this point. So I wish him well and hope he can hook up with someone who really knows that their doing.
From the 2010-2022 season,(A 13 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.
Steeler fans still loving on Tomlin now, are the same as Dolphin fans in the 90's who were still loving on Shula for what he did in the 70's
