Over the last few seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been searching for that true, game-changing slot cornerback since letting Mike Hilton walk in free agency.
In recent years, the Steelers have called on the likes of Arthur Maulet and Chandon Sullivan to hold down the slot role at times with Hilton now in Cincinnati, not to mention Cameron Sutton and even Patrick Peterson this season. Sutton was a real answer there, but he was allowed to leave in free agency, too.
Now, Sullivan is a free agent after one season in Pittsburgh and Peterson’s status with the Steelers for 2024 is uncertain due to a high cap charge that doesn’t exactly match his production.
