As expected, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed free agent kicker Sam Sloman to their offseason roster on Thursday. It’s a one-year deal for Sloman. To make room for Sloman on the 90-man roster the team waived defensive tackle Demarcus Christmas as injured. Christmas will revert to the Steelers Reserve/Injured list after he clears waivers.
As previously reported Thursday morning, Sloman, a former seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2020, appeared in eight games as a rookie with one of those coming as a member of the Tennessee Titans late in the season. He made 10-of-13 field goal attempts with a long of 42 yards last season, and went 23-of-26 on point-after-tries.
