Among the Steelers’ undrafted free agent signings is K Ben Sauls, yet he has zero chance of making the team. So how does signing with Pittsburgh play to his advantage? It’s actually fairly simple, and begins with an assumption. If he had a clear-cut opportunity to win a starting job with another team, he would have signed there.
Sauls signed with the Steelers, so we can reasonably assume he didn’t have such an opportunity. Not that he doesn’t have talent. That’s why Bob Labriola believes the arrangement is “a win-win for both sides”, as he said in his latest Asked and Answered column for the Steelers’ website.
