Patrick Peterson Reveals He’s Had Talks With Cowboys DC Mike Zimmer About Potential Fit

Veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson has made it quite clear that he wants to play a 14th NFL season in 2024. He’s just waiting for an opportunity.

After stating his desire to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers and play for head coach Mike Tomlin for a second season, Peterson has largely been quiet about other opportunities.

Until Monday.

Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Peterson revealed that he’s had a couple of conversations with the Dallas Cowboys and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who was his head coach in Minnesota for the 2021 season.

“Coach Zimmer, there in Dallas, had a couple of conversations with them,” Peterson said, according to video via The Rich Eisen Show YouTube page.
