## Resource

The Steelers are trimming their QB room as training camp begins, with Mason Rudolph potentially heading out the door despite his veteran experience — making way for younger prospects Will Howard and Drew Allar, whose development is critical ahead of next year’s draft. Rudolph’s $7.5M return deal could become a $1.62M cap hit if cut, while Allar, the 76th overall pick, officially signed his rookie deal and is seen as a key project under McCarthy’s tutelage. With Rodgers aging and a strong QB draft class looming, Pittsburgh’s future hinges on evaluating Howard and Allar — and Rudolph may be the sacrifice.
