Chicago Bears signed former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton in NFL free agency last year. Now in need of replacing Sutton, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine argued the Lions could target another former Steelers defensive back in free agency — Patrick Peterson.
Ballentine named the Lions a potential fit for the 3-Time All-Pro cornerback.
“The Pittsburgh Steelers cut the three-time All-Pro in a money-saving move. However, he played in all 17 games for the Steelers last season, starting 16 games and giving up just 7.7 yards per target,” wrote Ballentine.
“He also added an intriguing chapter of his career by moonlighting at safety toward the end of the season.
