The Pittsburgh Steelers had a number of contracts that they were working on late last offseason, and the big one trying to get something done with running back Le’Veon Bell tied up quite a bit of time. Then there was Alejandro Villanueva, who was not even under contract. And then when that one was done, the big one that actually got done with Stephon Tuitt went down almost to the wire.
That didn’t leave them a great deal of time to work out a new contract for their kicker, Chris Boswell, even though it is something that they were hoping to get done.
