Steelers' trade plans hinge on Aaron Rodgers' health by deadline

The Pittsburgh Steelers, currently 2-2 in the season following a loss to the Cleveland Browns, are assessing their quarterback strategy as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Aaron Rodgers' availability will be a crucial factor in the Steelers' decision-making process. If Rodgers remains healthy, the Steelers may consider trading backup Mason Rudolph, who is on a one-year deal. In contrast, if Rodgers is sidelined, the team is likely to retain all quarterbacks, including young prospects Will Howard and Drew Allar. The outcome will largely depend on Rodgers' performance over the next month.
