Just hours after losing veteran cornerback Cameron Sutton to the Detroit Lions in free agency on a three-year, $33 million deal, the Pittsburgh Steelers and GM Omar Khan did well to pivot quickly and ink 33-year-old cornerback and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Patrick Peterson to a two-year, $14 million deal on the open market.
While the signing of Peterson, at least hypothetically, plugs a hole on the Steelers’ defense for the time being, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine believes that Peterson signed with the wrong team in free agency, highlighting Peterson as one of six players he believes made a mistake on the open market.
