With the Pittsburgh Steelers releasing veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson, they are now very thin at cornerback.
Levi Wallace, Chandon Sullivan, and now Peterson are all free agents, none of which are expected to return. James Pierre is also on the open market, but based off his history with the team, I can’t imagine they’ll be chomping at the bit to bring him back to Pittsburgh.
Of course fans will be excited about last year’s sleeper in the seventh-round, Cory Trice, who missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in training camp. Darius Rush is another name that saw quality playing time, but the Steelers aren’t going to just pigeonhole themselves with a lot of very young and unproven guys.
