PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially signed kicker Sam Sloman, the team announced on Thursday.
Sloman kicked for the Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans as a rookie last season. The 23-year-old out of Miami, Ohio made 10 of 13 field goal attempts and 23 of 26 extra point attempts.
Kicker Chris Boswell, 30, is entering the second-last year of his current contract. Last season, he made 19 of 20 field goals and 34 of 38 extra point attempts.
To make room on the 90-man roster, the Steelers have waived defensive lineman Demarcus Christmas. He will revert to the Reserve/Injured list if he clears waivers.

PFF’s Regrading of the 2019 Draft
Packers : Excellent
Saints ⚜️ : Excellent
NFC West Teams (quoted from the article):
Round 2 (33): CB Byron Murphy, Washington
Round 2 (62): WR Andy Isabella, UMass
Round 3 (65): EDGE Zach Allen, Boston College
Round 4 (103): WR Hakeem Butler, Iowa State
Round 5 (137): S Deionte Thompson, Alabama
Round 6 (174): WR KeeSean Johnson, Fresno State
Round 6 (179): C Lamont Gaillard, Georgia
Round 7 (248): OT Joshua Miles, Morgan State
Round 7 (249): DI Michael Dogbe, Temple
Round 7 (254): TE Caleb Wilson, UCLA
Then: Excellent
Now: Average
It’s important to remember that we’re grading the decisions made and not necessarily the players drafted. While the Cardinals deserve some credit for kicking Josh Rosen to the curb in favor of Kyler Murray, Murray was the no-brainer top quarterback in the class. But despite three other top-65 picks in tow, the Cardinals failed to haul in another quality starter.
