The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of questions to answer at the trade deadline, specifically when it pertains to which players the team may look to cut loose for the right capital.
From a quality backup quarterback in a four-man room to a linebacker who may have outstayed his welcome in Pittsburgh, here's a look at three players the Steelers could trade at the November 10 deadline.
QB Mason Rudolph
Any veteran signal-caller who's not named the starter in a four-man quarterback room should, in theory, generate trade buzz at the deadline. With plenty of QB injuries around the league, it wouldn't be surprising if the Steelers dealt Rudolph for the right price.
LB Patrick Queen
Queen's level of play has been extremely inconsistent through six games this season, but any linebacker-needy team may value his versatility and leadership qualities at the deadline. The Steelers have plenty of depth behind Queen, and this move could make a lot of sense for all parties involved.
RB Rico Dowdle
Dowdle finally returned from injury and looked outstanding in the Week 6 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But this is Jaylen Warren's time now. Dowdle is a starting-caliber running back, but the Steelers can't afford to take any touches from Warren after this red-hot start. Dealing Dowdle to a competitor in search of a running back would be best for Dowdle, the Steelers, and wherever he'd end up.
