The Washington Commanders are reportedly signing Pittsburgh Steelers CB James Pierre, according to a Thursday tweet from reporter Josina Anderson.
I’m told the #Commanders are signing CB James Pierre Jr (@TuneLight1), per agents Toney Scott & Adie von Gontard of @YMAPAAsports.
Scott was acquired by YMAPAA Sports in November, who brings his expertise to YMAPAA Football.

An unrestricted free agent, Pierre primarily served as a gunner and special teamer throughout his Steelers’ career. Though physically talented, his inconsistent play as a cornerback held back his potential as a rotational piece in Pittsburgh’s defense.
