Shortly after the conclusion of the 2023 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers made significant changes to the roster, cutting loose players from problematic positions in hopes of being able to reshape the roster in a strong way in free agency.
The punting position was one such area the Steelers made changes, cutting loose fourth-year punter Pressley Harvin III after another poor season from the former seventh-round pick out of Georgia Tech.
A few weeks later, the Steelers made an upgrade at the punting position, landing veteran punter Cameron Johnston in free agency on a three-year, $9 million deal, giving the Steelers a dependable, productive, consistent veteran at the position for the first time in a long time.
