Steelers’ offseason: battle at kicker

Will the biggest battle of the Steelers’ offseason be at kicker?

There is plenty for the Steelers organization to do now that the 2015 season has ended: free agents to sign, contracts to restructure, maybe a retirement or two, and of course improving the players under contract.

The biggest free agent signing of 2015 after DeAngelo Williams–and in some regards a bigger signing than Williams–was Chris Boswell. While Boswell wasn’t an offseason acquisition like Williams, he added as much value to the team as the talented runner did.

When starting kicker Shaun Suisham went down in the preseason with a torn ACL, the Steelers brought in some veteran kickers to fill the gap.
