Colts, Vikings, Steelers QBs among those facing trade possibilities

As NFL teams prepare for the upcoming roster cuts, several quarterbacks could be traded or released before the start of the 2026 season. Notable candidates include Anthony Richardson of the Colts, who has struggled in his first two years but possesses significant potential. J.J. McCarthy of the Vikings may stay with the team unless a strong trade offer emerges, while Mason Rudolph of the Steelers could become available if the team opts to go younger behind starter Aaron Rodgers. Other quarterbacks like Aidan O'Connell from the Raiders are also in precarious positions as roster decisions loom ahead of the August 30 deadline for rosters to be trimmed to 53 players.
