The trade idea might not initially make sense for the Steelers, who hitched their wagon to former NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers last offseason. But Rodgers is 42 years old and is coming off a brutal two-year stretch with the Jets. Richardson is still just 23 and relatively cheap -- even for backup QB standards.

Aaron Rodgers is expected to play only this season with the Steelers, leaving them in need of a quarterback for 2026. And the stable staff led by Mike Tomlin could be a solid shot at Richardson revitalizing his career. Barnwell suggests it'd only take a fourth-round pick in return in a trade for Richardson.
