There's plenty of concern surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback room heading into the 2026 season, as Aaron Rodgers' career remains in limbo, while Mason Rudolph and Will Howard are the only two signal callers currently under contract next year. One trade candidate has emerged, however, but the Steelers would be wise to stay far, far away.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Tua Tagovailoa could be the next to go after the Dolphins released wide receiver Tyreek Hill and edge rusher Bradley Chubb, but Miami could opt to test the trade waters with their former first-round quarterback before cutting him.
While some quarterback-needy teams could entertain the idea of bringing Tua in, especially if the Dolphins eat some of his $56.2 million cap hit, the Steelers need to avoid trading for him at all costs.
Tagovailoa's concerning injury history and overall play regression far outweigh any benefit Pittsburgh could receive by trading for him, even if the quarterback room was down to Howard or Rudolph.
