## Resource

The Pittsburgh Steelers face a quarterback conundrum with four players on their roster, including Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and rookie Drew Allar. With NFL rules allowing only three quarterbacks during the season, the team must decide which one to release. Mason Rudolph, on the last year of his contract with a low cap hit, is the most likely candidate to be cut or traded, as he doesnt fit the teams current winning strategy and has limited trade value. Will Howard and Drew Allars futures remain uncertain, with the 2027 draft class promising potential quarterback talent. However, they could still develop into solid backup quarterbacks or even starters, warranting preseason snaps and potential regular-season appearances if the team struggles.
