If there’s one former teammate Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> long snapper Christian Kuntz wants back in 2026, it’s no doubt linebacker Elandon Roberts<\/a>.<\/p>\n On Thursday’s episode of Kuntz’ podcast<\/a>, a 2026 reunion with Roberts was discussed and actually makes sense given the Steelers<\/a>‘ potential need at linebacker.<\/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 via Penn Live’s Nick Farabaugh<\/a>. \u201cI hope we get him back. I know he\u2019s a free agent. I know the DC we signed, Patrick Graham is close with E-Rob from Vegas. So I\u2019m hoping E-Rob comes back ’cause he was one of the better teammates I’ve had in my career.”<\/p>\n Roberts played with the Steelers from 2023-2024, where he continued to prove himself as one of the NFL’s top run-stopping linebackers.<\/p>\n He ultimately left Pittsburgh via free agency in 2025 to sign with the Raiders<\/a>, but as Kuntz already pointed out, now is the time to reunite Roberts with the Steel City brand of football.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n For up-to-date\u00a0Steelers\u00a0coverage, including any offseason moves, follow us on X\u00a0@TheSteelersWire<\/a>\u00a0and give our\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0a like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 14, 2026, 4:55 p.m. ET If there’s one former teammate Pittsburgh Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz wants…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":753605,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[95878,7,6,520,57,2360,96718,96719,426,95882,107916,107917,95893,95885,95888,95895,95906,96720,96071,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-753604","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-pittsburgh","12":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","13":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","14":"tag-sstssportsnflsteelers","15":"tag-sstsnsteelers","16":"tag-steelers","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagchristian-kuntz","19":"tag-tagelandon-roberts","20":"tag-tagfacebook","21":"tag-taglas-vegas-raiders","22":"tag-tagnfl","23":"tag-tagnfl-hub","24":"tag-tagoverall-positive","25":"tag-tagpittsburgh-steelers","26":"tag-tagsmg-timely","27":"tag-tagsports-news","28":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116074044924594846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=753604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/753605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=753604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=753604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=753604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
