Veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson has agreed to a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Peterson spent the last two seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, and it's somewhat of a surprise the two sides couldn't agree to terms on a new deal.
The LSU product reiterated his desire to remain in Minnesota on the All Things Covered podcast in January (h/t Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press).
Peterson said:
"I would love to be there in that purple and gold again and give it a run again just because I love the community there.
