It has been announced by the Pittsburgh Steelers that they have signed two players to future contracts. Punter Brad Wing and long snapper Bryce Davis have agreed to reserve/future contracts with the organization.
From ESPN,
"Wing competed for the punting job in Philadelphia last season before getting released Aug. 25. The Australian native starred at LSU, earned 2011 first-team All-American honors, and was a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award that season.Wing is best known for the booming punts that allowed LSU to beat Alabama, 9-6, in a showdown between the nation’s two top-ranked teams in 2011. Davis spent parts of the 2012 season on the Bengals’ practice squad after signing with Cincinnati as an undrafted free agent out of Central Oklahoma.The Bengals released Davis on Aug. 31."
The Steelers thought it would be essential to lock up a punter and a long snapper for the future because the ones they currently have now will become unrestricted free agents at the end of the season, and have the option to go where they please.
What d you think of these two signings? Will they become integral parts of the Steelers’ special teams roster, or will the team need to look elsewhere? Leave a comment below.
