One of the positions that went largely unaddressed in the 2024 NFL Draft was cornerback, and specifically nickel corner. Since Mike Hilton left in free agency following the 2020 season, they had Cam Sutton who was versatile enough to play inside and out, and then Chandon Sullivan and Patrick Peterson mostly held down the position in 2023 with Sutton in Detroit. Sutton was recently released by the Detroit Lions following some pretty serious legal issues with a domestic violence situation, but the potential felony charges were downgraded to a misdemeanor.
Head coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan met with Sutton recently, per Gerry Dulac on X, which has sparked questions over a potential reunion.
