Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said the team should retain Will Howard and Drew Allar rather than Mason Rudolph to build long-term options behind Aaron Rodgers.
Roethlisberger made the comments Tuesday on his Footbahlin’ podcast. He argued that two young quarterbacks offer the best chance to identify a future starter, noting Rodgers has indicated he plans to retire after the 2026 season.
Bob Labriola, editor of Steelers.com, said he does not expect the team to carry four quarterbacks on the initial 53-man roster. He noted similarities to the 1995 situation but stressed the current era and coaching staff make that approach unlikely.
The Steelers open training camp next week at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Decisions on the quarterback room will be made during camp and the preseason.
