Like or not, the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t likely to trade for Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson by next week’s deadline. Even Peterson’s cousin, former Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden, doesn’t think his relative will land in Pittsburgh if he’s somehow traded in the next several days.
“My communication with Pat, Pittsburgh has not been involved,” McFadden said Tuesday during an interview on 93.7 The Fan when asked if he’s heard anything about the Steelers showing interest in trading for Peterson.
Even though the Cardinals owner and head coach have both said this past week that Peterson won’t be traded, McFadden made it sound like the organization is fielding offers just the same and that Arizona is currently playing “hardball” when it comes to their asking price for the shutdown cornerback.
