Rudolph’s Trade Potential Rises | NFL News

About this episode

Aaron Rodgers headlines the Steelers’ QB future, but the real drama’s behind him—Mason Rudolph, the veteran backup, is drawing trade interest as teams scramble for depth. With four QBs on the roster, Pittsburgh must trim, and Rudolph’s experience and arm make him the most valuable asset to move. A strong offer could force a deal, even with Rodgers still in the mix at 42.

It's September 2nd, NFL news today starts now, AI powered and always on. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking pretty solid at quarterback for the upcoming 2026 season. Aaron Rogers is slated to be the main guy, which definitely puts them in contention. But the real story is what's happening behind him on the Dept chart. Right now, Mason Rudolph is the backup with Will Howard and Drew Aller also in the mix. However, there's buzz that Rudolph might be on the move. Reports suggest that other teams are showing interest in trading for him. The main hurdle, according to League Insiders, isn't Pittsburgh's willingness to trade Rudolph, but rather the sheer number of other quarterbacks that might become available across the league. This could make it tougher to find the right deal. It's not really practical for the Steelers to carry four quarterbacks, so some kind of roster move is expected. Rudolph, being the veteran, likely holds the most trade value among the group, giving Pittsburgh a chance to get something back. While the Steelers might be hesitant to move Rudolph, especially with Rogers being 42,

a compelling offer could change things. Rudolph has a strong arm and could potentially get a shot at starting elsewhere, depending on the landing spot.
