A 35 yo QB and 32 yo punter. I thought the goal was to get younger, not make Cam feel younger. All kidding aside, he looks like an upgrade over Mr. inconsistent.

They will get another for camp - maybe a UDFA. (please don't spend draft pick on punter). I don't care if the new punter can boom it 65 yards...just decent hangtime, yardage and not shank every 3rd one.

 

[BLITZ]

The real question as we all know. Is how many passes will he throw?

Well at least the lunch counter lady can order less food.

They signed him for 9 million. There will be no competition.

Looks like he kills close to two punts inside 20 per game. I can live with that.

Wing is in the UFL. He was very good and probably could have been cheaper

There are a couple in the draft that would likely be there in the 7th for a lot less $$$$.

Johnston finished tied for fifth in the league last season in net yards per punt (43.7), which happened to be just one tenth of a yard less than Harvins's regular punt average of 43.8. Harvin was #32 of 33 qualifying punters in that category.

Clearly an upgrade for the Steelers at the punting position. Finally.

If this punter can't share wings with Shades, then what good is he?

 

[Drink IRON City]

ONE less draft pick to worry about.


Salute the nation

They've done so well at drafting punters. Beyond that there is only 1 the kid from Iowa worth drafting. And he's projecting to go in the 4-5

 

[SteelerSask2]

Well at least he looks like Bill Burr. I like Bill Burr. Funny guy.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

bill bur is cheaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This ”punter” news deserves to be above the gummies!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude has a heck of a leg and is consistent. Should be a big upgrade over Harvin being so inconsistent.

Mike doesn't like hard decisions and his player evals blow so may as well take all the chance out of the equation an overpay for a punter.

He's already got 2-3 threads
Only a really desperate team needs 2-3 threads for a punter!!!
