On one hand, it seems like Rudolph is firmly entrenched as the Steelers' backup. He didn't play in the team's second preseason game, which seems to clarify his standing a Pittsburgh's top quarterback option behind Aaron Rodgers.

Rudolph secure as Steelers backup but could be trade bait if team goes young.

Rudolph appears firmly entrenched as the Steelers' backup behind Aaron Rodgers after not playing in the team's second preseason game. However, the Steelers have intriguing young quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar waiting in the wings as potential successors to Rodgers. If Pittsburgh decides to keep just three quarterbacks and go young behind Rodgers, Rudolph could become trade bait. The 31-year-old has made 19 career starts and would likely draw interest from teams seeking to upgrade their backup quarterback positions.
