While there are questions at a number of positions groups for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, many feel that none is greater than at cornerback. That their top corner, Cameron Sutton, is a pending unrestricted free agent doesn’t help matters.
Having completed a two-year, $9 million contract, the six-year veteran is likely to earn a new deal this offseason that should pay him more than that per season. Some have questioned whether the Steelers should be the team to pay that.
Among the reasons cited is the possibility that it would dissuade them from using their top pick to address the position.
