A reliable veteran return at a low-risk position keeps the Steelers stable at punter. Five headlines covered the move, suggesting moderate media interest for a specialist signing. Johnston's familiarity with the organization is the strongest signal here — continuity matters. Fans are largely indifferent, viewing this as necessary roster maintenance rather than an exciting addition. Johnston should perform adequately, keeping Pittsburgh's punting game competent but unremarkable in 2024.

This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the Pittsburgh Steelers — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Cameron's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL Ps, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $1.3M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the P market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — depth piece output at a bargain price point represents solid asset management. Cameron is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
