Mason Rudolph isn’t interested in talking about contracts, not after the Pittsburgh Steelers extended Ben Roethlisberger’s through the remainder of Rudolph’s rookie deal.

That left no doubt who will be the Steelers’ starting quarterback, but Rudolph is looking forward to competing with Josh Dobbs for the backup job to Roethlisberger this season.

Rudolph, a third-round pick in 2018, even referred to him as “Mr. Roethlisberger.”

“I don’t see myself being No. 1 this year, so that would be the next-best opportunity,” Rudolph said Tuesday after the Steelers’ fourth organized team activity at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side. “I’m taking every single day and just competing against myself and the guys around us. Everyone makes everyone better.”
