QB Trade Market in August | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Only six quarterbacks have been traded in August over the past three years, revealing just how rare and high-stakes such moves are—teams usually only pull this lever when desperate. Most traded QBs fall into two categories: either highly drafted but underwhelming, or seasoned journeymen who’re reliable but not game-changers. Mason Rudolph, despite leading Pittsburgh to the playoffs last year, signed a cheap one-year deal—he’s steady but unremarkable athletically. Alex Howard, a sixth-round pick with injury woes and inconsistent play, likely fetches little more than a late-round draft pick. The backup QB market is thin, so teams with aging starters or developmental projects might consider a gamble—but don’t expect big returns.
