But if they DO realize that, they look a Mason and think they can get a great
return on a guy they don't totally believe in.

Maybe you're not taking into consideration that the Steelers won games with
Duck freakin' Hodges at QB the year Mason played and he's shown nothing besides
the ability to throw an accurate pass when there's no pressure on him
whatsoever. So far. That means when it's time to re-up next year there's no
guarantee whether he will play or if he will be any good, making his value on
the open market much lower than his value to the team, and there's a chance
that may still be the case next year. It would be nice to have a starting QB
for a few years without being financially strapped with a big contract. Right
now Mason's price/value ratio is better for the team than either Haskins or
Dobbs, so it's not worth even considering a trade.

I don't know if this has any basis in fact, buuuuuut...
Ben is the cornerstone. That's a given. Rudolph could, conceivably, be pissed
off and thinking "Jesus, am I going to get my damned shot or what??" Haskins is
happy that an esteemed organization has taken a chance on him and is going to
give everything his all (best case scenario). Dobbs could find work elsewhere
and he knows it. He's cool. So...
One of these things is not like the others. Maybe (cue rampant speculation)
Mason sees the Steelers keeping Ben for at LEAST another year, putting his shot
off another 365. Then they take a flyer on Haskins. Mason understandably thinks
"great, I'm gonna have to sing for my supper AGAIN". In view of this, maybe
Mason is fed up and says "look, I'm out, just trade me. I want to play."
Whether or not the team sees this, they look at the situation and think "we
GOT Ben; we're gambling on Haskins; and we can have Dobbs for a song. And if we
DO that, we got Rudolph, who we can get a pretty good return on in a trade."
The team seems to be in the driver's seat with these four on the payroll.
What am I not taking into consideration?

Dobbs coming back is interesting, they now have 4 QB’s in the room, with
Haskins as the low risk / high reward outsider.

That's good news in my book! I heard yesterday that Avery WIlliams was
coming back, but that was from a Tweet from him.....
