• Mason Rudolph signed a deal with an NFL team that’s not the Pittsburgh Steelers. CBS Sports gave the signing a “B+”. (PFB + CBS Sports) 

The former Steelers quarterback agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.62 million, according to NFL Media. This is a great opportunity for Rudolph, who will likely get a chance to compete with Will Levis to be the Titans’ starting quarterback.

The quarterback market isn’t very strong, so the Titans decide to spend relatively little money while getting a 28-year-old quarterback who has promise.

• Reading the tea leaves on what Chad Weiberg will do about Cowboy Basketball is a tough chore – but here’s a big reason why Bill Haisten calls him to do something: 

University sources who typically have a strong feel for what to expect when there is a situation like this – they don’t seem to know any more than you or I or anyone else.

Weiberg seems intensely guarded as he considers what he can do to restore Oklahoma State basketball, but there can’t be eventual action. He has to make a move because of this: In the 14-team Big 12 Conference this season, Oklahoma State was 12th in home-game attendance.
