Whaley diz que os Steelers podem colocar Mason Rudolph no time de treino

O ex-gerente geral da NFL, Doug Whaley, acredita que o Pittsburgh Steelers pode tentar manter o quarterback Mason Rudolph em seu time de treino nesta temporada. A ideia decorre de recentes mudanças nas regras da liga que permitem às equipes mais flexibilidade com jogadores veteranos.

Whaley fez os comentários na quarta-feira na 93.7 The Fan. Ele observou que as equipes agora podem manter até seis jogadores com temporadas acumuladas ilimitadas no time de treino. Essa opção dá aos Steelers uma maneira de reter quatro quarterbacks, se assim desejarem.
