As is becoming common, the Steelers are facing potentially significant turnover at cornerback this offseason yet again. Among their free agents are starter Donte Jackson and nickel Cameron Sutton. While they may re-sign the former, the latter figures to be a non-starter—in more ways than one.
The Steelers retain Joey Porter Jr. at their top cornerback spot under contract, but questions mount after that. Currently, they are projecting a starting lineup that includes Cory Trice Jr. and Beanie Bishop Jr. The latter was their starting nickel for the first half of last season, and he did intercept four passes.
