Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Will Howard and Mason Rudolph have emerged as potential trade targets for the Miami Dolphins, according to the Steelers Blitz podcast. The Dolphins are reportedly facing challenges with their backup quarterback situation after poor preseason performances by Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller. With starter Malik Willis established, Miami is seeking a more reliable option as backup. The Steelers are unlikely to keep four quarterbacks on their roster, which may lead to either Howard or Rudolph being traded if Miami pursues QB depth.
