Steelers sign long-snapper Stewart
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new long-snapper hopeful for
2010: Matt Stewart.
A six-year NFL veteran at linebacker who hasn’t played
in a regular-season game since 2006, Stewart is attempting to
reinvent himself with the Steelers. A source told FOXSports.com
that Stewart was signed to take the place of incumbent Jared
Retkofsky, who was released last week.
Stewart was in training camp with Arizona and Dallas the
past two seasons but didn’t make the final roster.
Stewwart, 30, was a 2001 fourth-round draft pick by Atlanta.
He has 60 career starts and was a core special-teams player for the
Falcons until 2004 and then Cleveland (2005-06). Stewart, who
played at Vanderbilt, was considered one of the top long-snappers
in his draft class.
The Steelers have made upgrading last year's poor
special-teams unit an offseason priority.
