Los Steelers podrían mantener a cuatro quarterbacks en su plantilla de 53 jugadores

Los Pittsburgh Steelers podrían retener a los cuatro quarterbacks en su plantilla de 53 jugadores para la temporada 2026, según el analista de la NFL Jason La Canfora.

La Canfora informó que varias personas cercanas a la situación creen que mantener a Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, Will Howard y Mason Rudolph sigue siendo una posibilidad. Rodgers está listo para ser el titular, mientras que Allar, seleccionado en la tercera ronda este año, parece tener su lugar asegurado en la plantilla. Howard ha recibido elogios del entrenador Mike McCarthy y una gran parte de las repeticiones durante las OTA y el minicampamento. Rudolph, sin embargo, ha visto reducidas sus oportunidades a medida que el equipo evalúa sus opciones. Si el equipo debe reducir el grupo, La Canfora indicó que un traspaso de Rudolph parece más probable que prescindir de Howard. En la NFL actual, contar con cuatro quarterbacks en la plantilla activa es poco común debido a las necesidades de profundidad en otras posiciones.
