Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers fielded several calls from other NFL teams about quarterback Mason Rudolph for trade interests. However, Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan aren't interested in moving their 5th year quarterback unless it's for the right price. Some may see that as a mistake with Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky on the roster, but Chris Carter argues why it's a smart move to hold onto Rudolph with two unproven quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart.

Speaking of depth charts, it's time to break down the expected 53-man roster with predictions, explanations of who will go on IR, and who might be coming to the Steelers, including former Baltimore Ravens safety Tony Jefferson after Damontae Kazee's injury.

There will be some parts of this episode that are not up to date due to moves by the Steelers on their roster that were announced early this morning.
