Are the Steelers willing to let trade offers decide their punter battle?
The Steelers have two NFL-quality punters, Cameron Johnston and Corliss Waitman, and are inevitably hoping to trade one. They won’t carry both on the 53-man roster into the season, and a practice squad slot is unlikely. With rare exceptions, specialists are just positions in which you don’t carry backups.
So when you have two good punters, as the Steelers do, the obvious solution is to trade one. The question is, which one? But the answer may be just as obvious: the one that someone is willing to trade for.
