The news last week of the Pittsburgh Steelers signing veteran cornerback Cameron Sutton to a one-year, veteran minimum contract in the midst of his legal situation following an arrest on a domestic violence warrant was certainly concerning for the team, but for head coach Mike Tomlin, the relationship with the cornerback and the due diligence done led to comfort in making the move.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday following the first mandatory minicamp practice just one day after signing his 3-year extension, Tomlin cited that relationship with Sutton as to why the team ultimately made the move to sign the veteran cornerback.
