Pittsburgh Steelers retain four quarterbacks following 53-man roster release

The Pittsburgh Steelers confirmed the retention of four quarterbacks on their active 53-man roster as of September 1. Mike McCarthy opted to keep Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar, opting against risking any of the players on the practice squad. This roster composition necessitated personnel adjustments at other positions, including the release of Elandon Roberts. The organization continues to evaluate depth across the roster, specifically regarding the status of the safety position. Additionally, the team recently completed a trade with the Dallas Cowboys involving Broderick Jones and finalized a trade with the Green Bay Packers for Kaleb Johnson. Negotiations regarding a contract for JPJ also remain a focal point for the front office as the team prepares for the upcoming start of the regular season.
