Steelers Bring In Patrick Peterson On Two-Year Deal
2 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers are giving former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson a two-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Peterson wants to play two more seasons, so he's expected to finish his career in Pittsburgh. The signing helps make up for the loss of Cameron Sutton in free agency after he landed with the Detroit Lions on Monday. Peterson isn't an elite shutdown cornerback heading into his age-33 campaign. He made the Pro Bowl in his first eight NFL seasons, but Father Time has taken a toll on him in recent years. Peterson had a bounce-back campaign in 2022 with Minnesota, recording a career-high 66 tackles (56 solo), five interceptions and 15 passes defensed in 17 regular season starts.
