The legal tampering period in the NFL started off slow for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but later took off with Pittsburgh losing CB Cam Sutton to the Detroit Lions and answering that loss by agreeing to terms with CB Patrick Peterson just a couple hours later. Given Pittsburgh’s long-standing business model when it comes to defensive free agents, this CB swap on the roster comes off as a little bizarre.
Khan, when asked about Sutton and his impending free agency at the NFL Combine a couple of weeks ago, stated that they had started discussions with Sutton and his representatives as Pittsburgh thinks “very highly” of Sutton.
