And while that may not be the case per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Rudolph has his suitors around the league according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media:
To Stay or To Go?
With the Steelers planning to sign quarterback Russell Wilson after the Broncos officially release him, many have assumed that the Steelers will move on from veteran backup Mason Rudolph. That might not be the case. Per a league source, Rudolph is still in play for Pittsburgh. Rudolph becomes a free agent on Wednesday. His name hasn’t come up today.

Pairing the report with Garafolo's tweet on the robustness of Rudolph's free agency market proves that the veteran signal caller has all options on the table over the next few days.
But if I had to lean one way or another, based on everything I've heard regarding the situation and the opportunity that Rudolph is seeking, I would bet on him joining another team where he's the sure backup and maybe even pushes for a starting role.
His play down the stretch of the Steelers' 2023 season caught the eye of the right people in the league and he will be awarded as such.
Whether that be through a re-sign with Pittsburgh or a fresh start elsewhere is yet to be determined.
