The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed long snapper Christian Kuntz today to a multi-year deal, according to TribLive’s Joe Rutter. Kuntz has spent the last three seasons as Pittsburgh’s long snapper, playing all 17 games each of the last three seasons.
The news was first reported by Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com.
The Steelers decided to re-sign Kuntz instead of tendering him a contract. The lowest tender amount is the right of first refusal tender, which would’ve amounted to $2.985 million. Instead, Kuntz will sign a multi-year deal, with the average per year presumably less than the tender.
