Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly open to trading Mason Rudolph

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly open to trading quarterback Mason Rudolph as they manage a crowded roster of four quarterbacks. NFL executives suggest the team is willing to move the 31-year-old, whose contract includes relatively low dead money, to better facilitate the development of younger drafted arms like Will Howard and Drew Allar.

Recent developments involving the Seattle Seahawks may present a trade opportunity. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold suffered a hip injury during a season opener against the New England Patriots. While a fracture has been ruled out, the team is awaiting MRI results. This injury situation could make Seattle a potential suitor for Rudolph, as the Steelers look to optimize their depth chart under new head coach Mike McCarthy.
