Dameshek expects Will Howard to be odd man out in Steelers QB room

Dave Dameshek believes the Pittsburgh Steelers will move on from Will Howard amid a crowded quarterback room. The analyst made the comments on his Football America show following recent roster moves. He expects Mason Rudolph to remain as the preferred backup option.

The Steelers drafted Drew Allar and re-signed Aaron Rodgers, creating a logjam at quarterback. Dameshek noted that the team views itself as a Super Bowl contender and prefers not to rely on young or developing players if Rodgers is injured. He said the team needs Rudolph for the short term and will likely have to cut one of the other quarterbacks.
