Last offseason the Pittsburgh Steelers under GM Omar Khan addressed a major need at cornerback opposite Joey Porter Jr. by utilizing the trade market, flipping wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers for cornerback Donte Jackson.
Jackson then proceeded to turn in a career-year with five interceptions and a fumble recovery, though he struggled with a shoulder and back injury down the stretch and was a liability in coverage late in the season.
He’s set to hit free agency now, though, and it’s unclear if the Steelers will do business with him again, even with GM Omar Khan stating that they’re open to re-signing him.
