Following the news of the 8-game suspension for veteran Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy stemming from a March arrest following an alleged domestic violence incident in Florida, the discussion has shifted to his signing being all the more puzzling because Sutton will miss the first eight weeks and won’t be available until Week 10 after the Steelers’ Week 9 bye week.
That 8-game suspension has led to many questioning the signing even further. While the Steelers knew a suspension was coming for the veteran cornerback following the incident in Hillsborough County, Florida in March, which led to his release from the Detroit Lions, it’s unclear if they expected the 8 games.
