Steelers Could Have Punter Trade Coming
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers held a somewhat tight punter battle throughout the summer, but it feels as if Pressley Harvin III will remain on the team entering his third NFL season.
As for Braden Mann, the Steelers' plans are likely to waive him when they trim their roster from 90 to 53. However, CBS Sports' Adam Caplan believes there's a team in the NFC that could be looking for Mann's assistance this season - and a trade could be made before roster cuts.
"The team has tried to bring in competition not just with Zentner, but they placed a waiver claim for former Jets P Braden Mann back in April. So should the Pittsburgh Steelers — who were the team awarded Mann — cut him, keep an eye on the Eagles potentially for his services through waivers once again," Caplan writes.
In 2022, Mann posted 46.9 yards per punt and landed 27 punts inside the 20-yard line. Over his three-year career, he's averaged 45.4 yards per punt, landing 60 inside the 20.
The Steelers have the weekend to make their final decisions on their 53-man roster, and Mann is one of a few players who will likely be discussed in trades before the deadline.
