- Steelers open to trading veteran QB after shocking NFL Draft move
Out with the old, and in with the new, the Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly open to trading their veteran quarterback following a surprising decision in the 2026 NFL Draft .
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Steelers are "open to dealing Mason Rudolph at some point this offseason", following their third-round selection of Penn State quarterback Drew Allar.
Appearing in 26 games for the Steelers and eight games for the Tennessee Titans , Rudolph has thrown for 4,925 yards and 30 touchdowns from 2019 to 2025.

Allar, who was selected by the Steelers with the No. 76 overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, will likely open the season as QB3, behind Will Howard and potentially Aaron Rodgers , respectively.
If the Steelers ultimately find a trade partner for Rudolph, an estimated asking price could be around a sixth- to seventh-round draft pick, considering his ceiling as a backup quarterback.
