Steelers consider trade for quarterbacks Mason Rudolph or Will Howard

Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers may trade one of their quarterbacks, either Mason Rudolph or Will Howard, following the Miami Dolphins' roster updates on cutdown day. After acquiring backup QB Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Dolphins released QB Cam Miller, indicating a search for a new backup. Rudolph has reportedly performed better than Howard in preseason and could fit well behind Dolphins starter Malik Willis. Howard, once viewed as a potential starter, has seen his position diminish with the arrival of another quarterback. Trade offers may prompt the Steelers to part ways with one of the two quarterbacks.
