The Pittsburgh Steelers had never before agreed to a contract with a player during the legal tampering window in free agency before with an outside player, but they did so this offseason with former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson. Nelson, a former third-round pick entering his fifth season, has been a starter for most of his career, but largely moved inside before last season.
When he came to Pittsburgh to conduct his introductory press conference in front of the media, he was asked if he saw himself as an outside cornerback, and he said that the did and he expected to be there when he lines up with the Steelers.
