The loss of cornerback Cam Sutton, who jumped to the Detroit Lions for a lot more money than the Steelers were offering, should not be surprising on several fronts.
But the addition of aging former All-Pro Patrick Peterson as a replacement for Sutton is surprising because it is uncharacteristic of the Steelers' approach to signing outside free agents, particularly older ones.
Sutton and defensive end Larry Ogunjobi were the two unrestricted free agents the Steelers were seeking to re-sign to multi-year contracts. Ogunjobi is still a possibility, maybe even more importantly now.
