Allar, who was selected by the Steelers with the No. 76 overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, will likely open the season as QB3, behind Will Howard and potentially Aaron Rodgers, respectively. If the Steelers ultimately find a trade partner for Rudolph, an estimated asking price could be around a sixth- to seventh-round draft pick, considering his ceiling as a backup quarterback.
