The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to fill out their offseason roster by signing long snapper Tucker Addington. According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, Addington will soon be added to the team\u2019s 91-man roster, utilizing the open spot left after running back Jonathan Ward\u2019s release last week.<\/p>\n
Addington is a familiar face to Pittsburgh. Though never officially signed to the roster, he tried out for the team<\/a> in September of 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n Undrafted in 2020 out of Sam Houston State, he\u2019s bounced around plenty of NFL rosters. His career began with the Dallas Cowboys, but he\u2019s spent time with six other NFL teams, most recently with the Houston Texans earlier this offseason. He was released earlier this month.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n To date, Tucker Addington has appeared in 10 NFL games. In 2024, he appeared in four games, three with the Miami Dolphins and one with the New England Patriots. He\u2019s made one career tackle, a solo stop while with the Washington Commanders in 2023. He made his NFL debut in 2022 with the Patriots. Addington also spent the 2022 season with the USFL Houston Gamblers as the team\u2019s starting snapper.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh has taken a long look at long snappers during the offseason, bringing in several during the team\u2019s rookie minicamp. Addington wasn\u2019t part of the group, and the Steelers didn\u2019t sign any of their options, but now have a backup to Christian Kuntz, who has served as the team\u2019s snapper since 2021. Last year, he received a 54.0 PFF grade, the highest of his career. Addington could just be depth or try to push Kuntz for a roster spot.<\/p>\n
