The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent cornerback Cameron Sutton, his agents told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Originally drafted by the Steelers in 2017, Sutton played for the AFC North club for six seasons before spending the 2023 campaign with the Detroit Lions.

Hopefully, the team feels the need to shed more light on the events with the fanbase.
Good signing, for the vet min. He was apparently misused in Detroit. And the charges against him have been reduced - not surprised
I like it a lot. WR is the weakest position now.
Me too, love that it's a one-year prove it deal for vet minimum.Quote:

Now we just need a WR2 and we're ready to start the season.
Now the corner room is looking better, as slot corner was a big question mark.
JPJ/DJ/Sutton and 3 younger players to develop in Trice/Rush/Bishop.
Hope he can beat the competition and not choke this opportunity.
:lol:Quote:

Trice comeback from injury, Bishop a potential slot corner that develops or not and Rush was a ball hawk at the Senior Bowl and showed the ability to flip his hips and cover well, but if I recall he was a converted WR that still needs to continue to develop.Quote:

I still say Bishop reminds me of William Gay. Not necessarily that their styles are similar, but in the kind of way they are playmakers and liabilities at the same time. Of course, Beanie is still young. Either way, play makers are good to have in the mix.
William Gay made the pick six count though.

Gay was outmatched on the outside, but good old reliable in the slot after a few seasons under his belt. Always need these unsung guys on the team. I thought Deshon Elliot would be that guy for us but instead he's cranking out an All-Pro seasonQuote:

Yes. Unfortunately, a lot of fans didn't understand his value. They only remember him when he was outmatched by a bigger stronger WR.Quote:

was looking forward to the improved play going from Beanie to Sutton ... but after the last two weeks of play its gonna be hard to sit Beanie IMO he is improving and becoming a turnover producer
I expect Beanie to play a good bit especially the first couple of weeks. Beanie is play maker so we have to let him play. However, when we run into Burrow, Mahomes and maybe Allen down the road, I would trust Sutton more not to get taken advantage of.Quote:

Pretty good problem to have. More depth in the secondary.Quote:

I just hope they do it with balance , dont wanna throw Sutton into the fire to much to soon and do not want to stunt Beanies growth and confidenceQuote:

Unless Sutton forgot how to play football and his conditioning is atrocious; he is a better CB than Bishop. Mentally, he is far far far (did I say far?) further along in his development than Bishop. In fact, Bishop spoke after the Jets game about how Sutton being allowed back in the facility had helped Bishop understand his defensive responsibilities better.
Remember when Sutton was last here, they would run him back to FS and drop Minkah into the mix in the "robber" role all post-snap on coverage rotations? Minkah got a couple turnovers out of those looks. I would be far more comfortable with Sutton executing those role swaps than Bishop. But I am not an NFL coach.
Also, I realize Beanie is on a heater with the INTs. But 2 of the 3 were more than a little fluky. The first one....that seems like the kinda thing that Sutton taught Beanie how to prepare for....
