Pittsburgh Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz encouraged the team to bring back pending free agent veteran Elandon Roberts.<\/p>\n
One year after leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in NFL free agency, veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts will reach the open market again this March.<\/p>\n If it were up to Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz, the team would ensure Roberts returns to Pittsburgh for 2026.<\/p>\n In the latest episode of his podcast this week, Kuntz urged the Steelers to reunite with the linebacker. The long snapper explained why he feels that way.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I\u2019m getting into a fight, and I gotta call one person, it literally might be E-Rob. Like, I think I\u2019m calling E-Rob,\u201d Kuntz said. \u201cI hope we get him back. I know he\u2019s a free agent.<\/p>\n \u201cI know the DC we signed, Patrick Graham, is close with E-Rob from Vegas, so I\u2019m hoping E-Rob comes back. \u2018Cause he was one of the best teammates I\u2019ve had in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n Roberts played for new Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham with the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> during the 2025 campaign. Elandon Roberts posted 90 combined tackles with six tackles for loss. He also had one quarterback hit and one pass defense.<\/p>\n Roberts spent<\/a> two seasons with the Steelers in 2023 and 2024. He had 101 combined tackles and 2.5 sacks during 2023.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tDave Holcomb<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL and MLB for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions.
