Mason Rudolph, who quarterbacked for Oklahoma State between 2014 and 2017, has inked a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans, as reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Valued at potentially $3.62 million, Rudolph makes the move after his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was drafted in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The 28-year-old QB stepped in as the starter late in the 2023 season for the Steelers due to injuries to Kenny Pickett and a benching of former starter Mitch Trubisky. Rudolph’s leadership helped Pittsburgh secure wins in their final three regular-season games, securing a playoff spot as the No. 7 seed.
Rudolph completed 55-of-74 passes for 719 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions during the 2023 regular season. In his lone postseason start against Buffalo, he went 22-for-39 for 229 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
In 21 career games with 13 starts, Rudolph has completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 3,085 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He’s compiled an 8-4-1 record as a starter.
Prior to his career in the NFL, Rudolph started 41 games for Oklahoma State. He completed 63.1% of his passes over his four-year Cowboy career while throwing for more than 13,000 yards and 90 touchdowns.
Now in Tennessee, he’s expected to compete for the starting job against former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis and 2022 draftee Malik Willis from Liberty.
