The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced the signing of DB Grayland Arnold on the same day that they signed Cameron Sutton. The latter move obviously overshadowed the former, for numerous reasons, and anybody reading an article about the Steelers’ relationship with Grayland Arnold almost surely already knows those reasons.
But Arnold revealed an interesting little fact after signing with the Steelers. According to Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Arnold was very nearly a Steeler seven months ago. That makes him the second defensive back who was “nearly a Steeler” last year who now is. They attempted to trade for Donte Jackson at the deadline in 2023, only to complete a trade in March.
