The Pittsburgh Steelers finalized their initial 53-man roster, but keeping four quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar, came with severe systemic trade-offs.
On a recent episode of the "Locked on Steelers" podcast, host Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sounded the alarm on how ****** ding signal-callers has severely compromised positional depth across the rest of the team.
"If you keep four quarterbacks, it's going to leave some holes somewhere that you're going to have to fill," Carter explained. "And lo and behold, they kept four quarterbacks and there are some serious holes that got to be filled."
The structural crunch is felt most acutely on the offensive line and in the secondary. The Steelers enter the regular season carrying just three active offensive tackles: starting left tackle Troy Fautanu, likely starting right tackle Dylan Cook, and rookie Max Iheanachor.
With Jack Driscoll relegated to short-term injured reserve, Pittsburgh lacks a true, proven swing tackle.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have found a trade partner for one of their quarterbacks, specifically Mason Rudolph or Will Howard, following an NFL roster update on cutdown day.
One day after trading away QB2 Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Miami Dolphins released QB3 Cam Miller as apart of final roster cuts, which should put them in the market for a backup quarterback and in the perfect position for a trade with Pittsburgh.
Rudolph looked better than Howard during the preseason and likely earned the QB2 role behind Aaron Rodgers in 2026. His experience as both a starter and a backup with the Steelers and Tennessee ***** ans would be valuable behind Dolphins starting quarterback Malik Willis.
If Miami preferred a younger backup, Howard would make the most sense here. He didn't exactly look great during the preseason but he was once heralded as a future starting quarterback in Pittsburgh. That was until Allar came to town and likely stole that responsibility right out from under him.
Mike McCarthy may have claimed that all four Steelers quarterbacks earned roster spots, but if a trade partner offers a deal the team can't refuse, it's time to part ways with either Rudolph or Howard

#steelers #line #sunday

Ben Roethlisberger's arm ligaments turned al dente sometime around 2019. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense behind him remained strong. That juxtaposition created the broken path that leads us to 2026. That's the year where the Steelers, in a league where most teams will have only two quarterbacks on their active roster, plan to keep four passers at the 53-man cutdown day.
That's what first-year head coach Mike McCarthy told ESPN's Brooke Pryor to expect when rosters as finalized August 30 at 6 p.m. ET. His QB1 will be a soon-to-be 43-year-old Aaron Rodgers, heavily diminished from his MVP peak. His veteran backup will be Mason Rudolph, exiled to Nashville in 2024 to bring his special brand of underwhelming football to the Tennessee ***** ans before reuniting with the team last year. Behind them, for now, is the duo of mid-round draft picks Pittsburgh picked up as lottery tickets in hopes they may have dug a diamond from a coal mine: Will Howard (sixth round, 2026) and Drew Allar (third round, 2026).
The need for four quarterbacks can be traced back to the end of the Roethlisberger era. This team was too competent to fall to a top 10 draft pick as the two-time Super Bowl champion's arm weakened and his average target distance dropped to league lows. Stopgap solutions followed; Mitchell Trubisky. Kenny Pickett. Rudolph. Russell Wilson. Justin Fields. Now, it's Rodgers.
When Pickett, the first quarterback selected in one of the worst quarterback drafts of all time, failed, the Steelers bought in to retread passers just good enough to keep the team at slightly above average. Playoff appearances followed. Playoff wins did not. Between weak draft position and the franchise's general distaste for big free agent splashes -- missing out on Kirk Cousins (good!) and Sam Darnold (not as good!) -- Pittsburgh went from renting to owning its place in contender's limbo.
2026 has marked the franchise's desire to stay there. Mike Tomlin, architect of zero losing seasons in 19 years at the helm, parted ways with the team. Rather than start fresh with a rising young head coach, the team hired Mike McCarthy, a man with a 126-80-2 record in the regular season since 2011 and a 6-9 playoff record. It brought back Rodgers, who can no longer use his legs to extend plays and has been forced into a diet of short, quick passes to avoid pressure even as his otherworldly arm talent remains in flashes of "remember when?" And, importantly, rather than casting his lot with Howard and Allar in case of injury and letting the chips fall where they may, McCarthy is keeping Rudolph as QB2.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face a difficult decision with Will Howard as they prepare to finalize their quarterback room for the 2026 season.
The sixth-round pick has shown flashes during the preseason, but his inconsistent performances have complicated his chances of becoming Aaron Rodgers' backup. Former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch believes Pittsburgh could lose Howard if it tries to place him on the practice squad.

Howard entered training camp competing with Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar for a place behind Rodgers. Rudolph brings valuable NFL experience, while Allar has also impressed enough to strengthen his roster.
Howard, meanwhile, struggled against the New York Jets. He threw two interceptions during Pittsburgh's 17-0 preseason loss, failing to create the separation he needed in the backup competition. That performance did not help his immediate case. However, Batch believes the Steelers must consider more than Howard's latest outing when deciding his future. NFL news platform Steelers Depot reports Charlie Batch's comments on the situation.

SOUTH BEND —A dozen days away from Notre Dame football's season opener against Wisconsin, Joe Rudolph's offensive line is still holding auditions for 40% of the starting spots.
In addition to the Joe Otting-Ashton Craig battle at center, where team doctors have yet to fully clear Craig in his return from his second torn ACL in as many seasons, there's a turnstile of sorts spinning at right guard.
Or maybe it was just the turn of Styles Prescod, considered the top backup at either tackle spot, to get a longer look at right guard.
"Listen, the competition at right guard is open," offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock said. "And we've got a number of guys we're taking a look at in there. Styles is one of those guys."
Sullivan Absher entered fall camp as the leading candidate at right guard, but a broken foot derailed second-year man Matty Augustine's push to claim the starting job.

Rudolph Valentino was a young, rising star in Hollywood, becoming a mainstay in silent films
From 1917 through his death in 1926, the star gained a reputation as the "Great Lover" of the screen for his **** y roles
Valentino died suddenly at the age of 31, with thousands of mourners lining the streets of New York in the days that followed
Rudolph Valentino was one of Hollywood's earliest and brightest stars.
It's for that reason that the actor's death was one of the earliest to receive a true outpouring of public mourning. Born Rodolfo Guglielmi in Castellaneta, Italy, in 1895, he arrived in the United States in 1913, taking up various odd jobs while also performing as a vaudeville dancer.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers wrap up their training camp installation, veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph voiced strong enthusiasm for the team's new offensive system. Rudolph credited both new head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio for establishing a dynamic environment and setting a clear path forward.
Steelers beat writer Alan Saunders shared a video of Rudolph commenting on his own performance, reflecting on his summer work, and the staff's leadership via X.
"I think I have done a good job. I think I've had a good camp. I like the way the offense is evolving and trending. Coach McCarthy's got a ton of great concepts and he's worked hard and done a great job with the installation process. Coach Angelico He's great in front of the unit. He really is. He's a great teacher. I am happy," explained Rudolph.

Rudolph's endorsement offers an encouraging update on a system undergoing significant transformation. Under McCarthy, who ****** umed head coaching duties in Pittsburgh, the offensive staff implemented a modernized scheme packed with diverse passing concepts and refined footwork drills.

McCarthy revealed earlier this week that he has seen enough of Mason Rudolph. He knows what he has in the veteran.

After an impressive performance against the Packers in Week 1 of the preseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers look to continue their momentum when they face the New York Jets on Friday night at Acrisure Stadium.
The Steelers beat Green Bay 28-9 last week as Drew Allar, Will Howard, and Mason Rudolph each made a case to be Aaron Rodgers' backup. The 42-year-old Rodgers has made it clear that he doesn't believe he would gain any sort of advantage by playing in preseason games.
Pittsburgh takes on another of Rodgers' former teams in the Jets. New York lost to the Buccaneers in Week 1, 24-16. Braelon Allen had a standout performance for the Jets, scoring a touchdown and rushing for 44 yards.
Here is everything you need to know about Steelers vs. Jets, including TV and streaming options for Friday's preseason game.

Drew Allar shined in his first preseason games with the Pittsburgh Steelers following an up-and-down journey at Penn State. The third-round quarterback led touchdown drives on each of his first three possessions in a Steelers uniform and completed 10-of-13 passes for 153 yards, two passing touchdowns, and a rushing score. It was a good first impression for Allar, who looked comfortable in the pocket and didn't miss the easy throws he was knocked for in college.
Despite the strong first game, albeit the preseason, it didn't make former NFL offensive lineman and current FOX ******* yst Geoff Schwartz more optimistic that he is going to be the Steelers' next franchise quarterback.
"Drew Allar is unlikely to get a chance to be good in the NFL because he's not going to get an opportunity to play," Schwartz said via FOX Sports Radio. "If he's the third-string guy, when is he ever gonna play?"
Aaron Rodgers is solidified as the 2026 starting quarterback, and Will Howard continues to battle Mason Rudolph for the backup spot.
Allar is surely going to make the roster, but it doesn't appear that he's in play to be QB2. The lack of reps could hurt Allar's chances of proving to the Steelers that he's their guy moving forward, and Schwartz sees the Steelers picking a quarterback in 2027.

Aaron Rodgers Becoming a 'Valuable Resource' for Young Steelers Core in Final NFL Season originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
With a lifetime of experience on the field, Aaron Rodgers has embraced his role as the ultimate veteran. In his final NFL season, the Steelers QB is also embracing another role: mentor.
After over 18 years in Green Bay, Rodgers spent two seasons with the Jets, overcoming injuries along the way. He signed with the Steelers last year and led them to the Wild Card game. He signed a one-year, $25 million deal to return for one last ride.
The 42-year-old is one of the oldest active players in the NFL today. Mainly keeping to himself, as he hopes to do permanently when retired, becoming a mentor to this team means opening up, which his teammates have welcomed with open arms.
"He's so open and so easy to talk to," Mason Rudolph said via TRIB LIVE. "Easy to ask questions. He's been a valuable resource."

Why Steelers' Mike McCarthy will keep Mason Rudolph to form QB quartet with Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Pittsburgh Steelers still have not established what type of offensive identity they will have in the 2026 NFL season. Coach Mike McCarthy may have made a few cuts in the squad, but they were all minor. There was an expectation that Mason Rudolph may be cut after their training sessions, but that possibility is looking bleak. He may be slated to stay alongside Drew Allar, Aaron Rodgers, and Will Howard.
To say that the Steelers have quite a quarterback identity conundrum is an understatement. Coach Mike McCarthy will have to orchestrate a possible farewell tour for Aaron Rodgers. He also has to prioritize the growth of both Drew Allar, the Steelers' third-round 2026 NFL Draft pick, and Will Howard, their sixth-round 2025 NFL Draft pick.
It was clear as day that Mason Rudolph would get cut because of how many quarterbacks the Steelers already have. However, Coach McCarthy posits that Rudolph could be staying with the team.
Why is that the case? Coach McCarthy posits that Rudolph has been doing well during the Steelers' training camp, via Gerry Dulac of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The Steelers have released their first depth chart of the season and it does not include running back Rico Dowdle among the starters.
Some might have expected the Steelers to go with a dual listing of Jaylen Warren and Dowdle at the top of their backfield, but the Steelers have opted to go with Warren as the No. 1 and Dowdle as the No. 2. Dowdle signed a two-year contract with the team as a free agent this offseason while Warren is in his fifth year with the team.
The listing could remain the same into the regular season, but the Steelers are planning on roles for both backs and that could make their standing on the depth chart a moot point come the fall.
Another spot that has been closely watched this offseason is backup quarterback and the Steelers list Mason Rudolph ahead of Will Howard for the spot behind Aaron Rodgers. Third-round pick Drew Allar is listed at the fourth spot and his draft position makes him likely to make the team, so the Steelers could be parting ways with whoever loses out for the No. 2s spot on the depth chart.

Remember when Will Howard was considered to have an advantage in the Pittsburgh Steelers QB2 battle with Mason Rudolph? Yeah, me too. But apparently, Mike McCarthy has different plans in mind, at least to start training camp. And it's bad news for Howard.
As the Steelers reported to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, McCarthy revealed that Rudolph will be getting QB2 reps to start camp, while Howard and Drew Allar will split time at QB3.
Howard, selected by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was considered to be in pole position for the backup quarterback job in Pittsburgh. And considering the Steelers are more than likely to keep only three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, the loser of the QB2 battle between Howard and Rudolph would likely be a trade or roster-cut candidate.
It's still extremely early in training camp, with plenty of time for Howard to prove he deserves a spot on the Steelers' roster over Rudolph. But as things stand right now, it's basically Rudolph's job to lose.

Since the 2000s began, the Cowboys have had several trades for big-name wide receivers. It's still too early to make an official proclamation, but so far, the trade for George Pickens is looking like it may be the most successful. Our rundown series now comes to one of Dallas' brightest stars, and perhaps their most talked-about player this offseason.
Years in NFL: 4
Acquired by: Trade (2025)
2022 was a year of sweeping change for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger retired, there was a new general manager, and the receiver position was also in flux. George Pickens was part of this new offensive era, a second-round pick to go with first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett. Unlike the rookie QB, Pickens was an immediate contributor in a trio with Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool. Pittsburgh traded Claypool away in November, leaving Johnson and Pickens as the clear starting duo.
For three years, Pickens' talent was clear but so were issues with his maturity and relationship with the Steelers. The team struggled to find its next QB, going through the poo-poo platter of Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph before bringing in Russell Wilson in 2023. While Wilson helped bring some respectability back at QB, Pickens' status with the team was already breaking down. Criticism of his effort became public, and he went into his fourth year without a clear path forward in Pittsburgh.
As it turned out, the path led to Dallas. Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick were sent to the Cowboys for a 2026 third-rounder and Dallas' fifth-round pick in 2027. For the Steelers, it was a decent return on a former second-rounder who they clearly had no intention of re-signing after his rookie deal. For the Cowboys, it was an immediate upgrade at WR2 and a much-needed wingman for CeeDee Lamb, who'd been carrying too much of the receiving load since the departure of Amari Cooper and the decline of Michael Gallup.

Aaron Rodgers' bonding week with his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates has gone viral over the past several days. And one particularly interesting storyline was the absence of two key Steelers players.
While Rodgers brought along six teammates, Michael Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson, Pat Freiermuth, Ben Skowronek, and Mason Rudolph, Steelers quarterback Will Howard and tight end Darnell Washington were nowhere to be seen. And considering how hard it is to miss the 6-foot-7 Washington, there's been a real debate about what these absences could mean.
For Howard, this could mean that the backup quarterback job isn't as one-sided as previously believed. Rudolph appeared to throw his name back into the hat with his inclusion at Rodgers' bonding week.
Washington's absence was less concerning, as the giant, 300-plus-pound playmaker has carved out a role for himself as one of the NFL's best blocking tight ends that's dangerous after the catch.
These two Steelers will definitely be players to keep a close eye on as training camp arrives in a few weeks, as Howard and Washington look to battle with Rudolph and Freiermuth, respectively, for a bigger role on the team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers fandom was buzzing as Aaron Rodgers' bonding trip with several teammates went viral, with several details from the get together worth mentioning.
Here's a look at three takeaways from Rodgers' bonding week, including a possible retirement hint, an intriguing receiver battle, and an early clue about the quarterback pecking order.
Rodgers previously referenced retiring at the end of the 2025 season, only to return for one more year. The veteran quarterback has once again referenced retiring after the upcoming season, and his Instagram post captioned "Last Rodeo" all but to confirms those plans.
One of the important positional battles to keep a close eye on will be Wilson vs. Bernard for the WR3 spot. While some outlets, including ESPN, have given the edge to Bernard, Wilson was one of the six teammates who built extra chemistry with Rodgers during the bonding week. At this point, it may be Wilson's spot to lose.
Rudolph won't be competing with Rodgers for a starting job any time soon, but his inclusion during the bonding week shows that he remains an important part of the Steelers' plans moving forward. There's been a lot of discussion about Rudolph and Howard competing with one another for a roster spot, and Rodgers' decision to include the veteran backup may offer an early indication of the QB pecking order.

Aaron Rodgers is doing some team-building roughly two weeks before the Pittsburgh Steelers report for training camp.
Going into his 23rd NFL season, the four-time MVP wants to make sure his final season is a memorable one. And he gathered a handful of teammates from the Steelers offense for a trip to bond before the work of the 2026-27 campaign really begins.
Rodgers posted a photo of himself with receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Ben Skowronek, Roman Wilson and DK Metcalf, along with quarterback Mason Rudolph and tight end Pat Freiermuth from an undisclosed location.
Whereever the photo was taken from (Rodgers also posted another one that was sharper), perhaps somewhere out West, there is plenty of wide-open ***** e to work on some pass routes. But maybe they’re saving the football stuff for when they report to Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Accompanying the image, Rodgers wrote “Last Rodeo,” reminding everyone that this will be his last season and these are the guys who will help him through it. The caption also included the hashtag “#bondingweek,” indicating the purpose of this excursion.

An invitation to the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift wedding was one kind of exclusive. Another recent NFL-related gathering took exclusive to another level.
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has posted on Instagram a photos of a gathering with six of his Steelers teammates: Michael Pittman Jr., Ben Skowronek, Roman Wilston, Mason Rudolph, DK Metcalf, and Pat Freiermuth.
The caption is "Last Rodeo," along with "#bondingweek."
The images include horses, cowboy hats, and campfires. The setting wide open and outdoors, with strong to quite strong Teton River vibes.
Rodgers has said this will be his final season. The "Last Rodeo" label further confirm it, setting up the 2026 season to be the rare full-season farewell tour for a franchise quarterback.

What former head coach Mike Tomlin would call a good problem to have, the Pittsburgh Steelers have four quarterbacks on their roster and likely only three spots available on the 53-man roster. And unfortunately for Will Howard, the odds may favor Mason Rudolph.
From now to the start of the regular season, we at Steelers Wire will be ******* yzing every player on the roster. Here's a look at Howard and what could be in store for his 2026 season.
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 235 pounds
Age: 24 years old

The reality is, the Steelers like Iheanachor a lot and taking him tells us a lot about where the team is with Broderick Jones. Our prediction is that as a rookie, Iheanachor is going to eventually supplant Dylan Cook as the team's starting right tackle.
We love Bernard's versatility and expect him to slide into the WR3 slot immediately. He's going to get plenty of snaps but probably not a ton of targets as a rookie. We do like the idea of him being able to move around the formation and free up the other receivers to move around.
Once Aaron Rodgers signs, the clock starts for Mason Rudolph and the battle between Will Howard and Allar. Realistically, Allar ends up the No. 3 quarterback and is inactive most weeks.
Everett is an ultra-athletic football player but is very raw. He's been tremendous in minicamps and is quickly climbing the depth chart to the point he could be the first outside cornerback off the bench.
Of all the rookies, Dunker might be the player who ends up fast-tracked into the starting lineup. He might not be the starting left guard Week One but we do expect him to take over the job at some point during the season.
