Steelers trade QB Joshua Dobbs to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 5th round pick

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a problem many teams would love to have. They have too many quarterbacks.

After an intense training camp battle to backup Ben Roethlisberger between Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs, the team selected Rudolph to hold the clipboard in 2019. This left Dobbs inactive for the team’s Week 1 game vs. the Patriots on Sunday Night Football.

There was a sense there might be an NFL team who would be calling the Steelers for Dobbs’ services, especially if an injury occurred, and this happened when the Jacksonville Jaguars lost quarterback Nick Foles for a unkown period of time with a broken clavicle.
