Steelers plan to carry four quarterbacks into the season

The Pittsburgh Steelers will keep four quarterbacks on their roster as the NFL prepares for the final cutdown day on August 30. Head coach Mike McCarthy plans to have Aaron Rodgers as the starting quarterback, with Mason Rudolph as the backup. The team also includes sixth-round pick Will Howard and third-round pick Drew Allar as further options. This decision continues the franchise's trend of maintaining veteran presence at the position, avoiding a full commitment to younger quarterbacks. The Steelers remain in a state of competent mediocrity following the decline of Ben Roethlisberger and missed opportunities in the draft and free agency.
