Steelers Make Unexpected Move: Veteran LS Tucker Addington Set to Join – What This Means for the Team’s Future

The Texans released Addington last week.

So here’s the scoop—Tucker Addington, a seasoned long snapper with stops at several NFL franchises, is gearing up to join the Steelers, according to word from Aaron Wilson at KPRC. After the Texans let him go last week, it looks like Pittsburgh’s making a move to bolster their special teams depth alongside Christian Kuntz. Addington’s journey hasn’t been a straight shot—since hitting the league in 2022, he’s bounced between New England, Washington, Miami, the Cowboys, and Jaguars, accumulating 10 game appearances along the way. He even inked a futures contract with Houston earlier this year before they opted for a different snapper. This signing could shake things up in the Steelers’ locker room as they firm up their roster heading into the season.
