Steelers Sign P Mat McBriar, Zoltan Mesko Waived

The team has announced that they have waived Zoltan Mesko. Former Cowboys punter Mat McBriar has been signed as his replacement. Zoltan Mesko has preformed relatively poorly and inconsistently this season, and ranks 31st in the NFL and dead last in PFF’s punting grades.

McBriar is an Australian born 10th year veteran who spent all of his active NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, until joining with the Eagles in 2012.  In 2012, McBriar averaged 37.1 Net Yards, and averaged 45.4 total, 38 net over his NFL career. He was a 2 time pro bowl selection.

About Mesko, earlier today Tomlin said, “He’s been inconsistent and that’s not good enough. He needs to perform better.”

Mesko, who is full of good humor, seemed to take the news well.
