Who knows what the Pittsburgh Steelers told free agent cornerback Coty Sensabaugh when he came in for a visit back in the spring before signing. Ross Cockrell was the incumbent starter at the time, by default, with Senquez Golson the ‘challenger’. Was he told he would compete for a starting job?
By the time training camp came and went, that appeared to be what was happening, particularly as Cockrell struggled, eventually getting traded to the Giants for a conditional seventh-round pick. But that move was made only after the team had signed Joe Haden in free agency.
