Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to have a kicker challenge Chris Boswell for his job this offseason and as of right now that player is set to be Matt McCrane, who the team signed to fill in for the injured Boswell during the final week of the regular season. The Steelers, however, should look this offseason to find an upgrade over McCrane and possibly even one who has more experience kicking in the NFL.
With the new Alliance of American Football league set to start this weekend, the Steelers will have an opportunity to monitor the kickers on those eight rosters throughout the inarguable season to see if any of them warrant being signed on the cheap in an attempt to provide better completion for Boswell during training camp and the preseason.
