Former Pittsburgh Steelers CB Patrick Peterson knew his phone was going to ring sooner or later. He didn’t expect to earn the label former by the time he hung up, however. After just one season with the team, the Steelers released the future Hall of Famer, saving a little under $7 million in cap space prior to roster displacement. He talked about that phone call with Keyshawn Johnson on the All Facts No Breaks podcast.
“I figured I would get a call; the shocking part about the call is that I was getting cut”, he recalled.
