Day One of the legal tampering for NFL free agency was one of up-and-down emotions for Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Early in the day the team lost cornerback Cameron Sutton to the Detroit Lions, but later Pittsburgh filled the massive hole at cornerback by agreeing to a two-year deal with Patrick Peterson.
Not only did the Steelers get a veteran player who knows his way around the NFL, but they got him for cheaper than what they would have paid for Sutton. The contract that Peterson agreed to is for two years, $14 million while Sutton received a three-year, $33-million contract.
