Falcons consider trading for Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph

The Atlanta Falcons may pursue a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. Currently, the Falcons plan to start Cooper Rush while rookie Jack Strand has impressed in the preseason. The team is dealing with a quarterback situation, prompting speculation about acquiring Rudolph, who the Steelers are willing to move. In 34 career games, Rudolph has thrown 30 touchdowns and 22 interceptions, but his performance metrics suggest he may not be the ideal fit. A decision may need to be made quickly as the Falcons prepare for their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football.
