Steelers defer due date of Chris Boswell’s 2019 roster bonus until after final preseason game

After an exceptional 2017 season that saw him voted to the Pro Bowl, it would be fair to say that no Pittsburgh Steelers player had a more disappointing year in 2018 than Chris Boswell. Kicks that had became routine were a monumental challenge for the young kicker last season, with Boswell converting just 65-percent of his field goal attempts and a disappointing 89.6-percent of his extra points.

If not for the sizable contract extension he had signed back in August, there is a good chance the Steelers would have parted ways with him mid-season, but instead opted to place him on injured reserve when a groin injury revealed itself.
