Place kicker Chris Boswell and the Steelers have begun negotiations toward a new contract. Boswell said Sunday the talks began last week.
“They probably started at the beginning of the week,” he said. “And they’ve kind of been ongoing since then.”
If Boswell does not sign a long-term deal before the start of the regular season he’ll play this season for $2.9 million on the restricted free agent tender he signed in the spring.
“I’m just going to let it play out,” he said. “I told my agent I don’t really want to hear about it. Just kind of let me kick, and if we get something done, we get something done.”
Boswell has been one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL since he entered the league in 2015. Last season, he made 35 of his 38 field-goal attempts, including all four of his attempts from 50 yards or more.
