Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has been identified as a possible trade candidate, according to a report from SB Nation published Thursday. The news was reported by Joey Bray, suggesting the backup quarterback could be moved as the NFL season progresses.
Rudolph, who has served as a reserve behind starter Russell Wilson, has previous starting experience with the Steelers. The 29-year-old quarterback has appeared in 21 games with 17 starts over his career, throwing for 3,085 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The Steelers acquired Wilson in the offseason, solidifying the starting role and potentially making Rudolph expendable for a team seeking quarterback depth. Trade deadline activity typically increases in early November as teams assess their roster needs for the playoff push.
