A member of the Pittsburgh Steelers is saying goodbye, according to The Athletic’s Ben Standig.
The Commanders are expected to sign free agent CB James Pierre, per source.
Primarily a reserve/special teams contributor, the 4-year vet made the Steelers as a 2020 UDFA.
Pierre, 27, has missed just one game for the Steelers in the past four years after signing a contract in undrafted free agency in 2020.
The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly wrote about Pierre and his free agency this spring.
Once a promising young talent, Pierre has been relegated mostly to special teams since getting burned for a couple of touchdowns by Tee Higgins and benched in 2021.
