Steelers signing three-time All-Pro CB Patrick Peterson to two-year ...

Seeking to fill a hole at cornerback, the Pittsburgh Steelers struck quickly with a big-name signing at the position.

The Steelers are signing Patrick Peterson, the league's active interceptions leader, to a two-year, $14 million deal, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Monday. Peterson's contract includes $5.85 million guaranteed.

Peterson, who turns 33 in July, spent the last two seasons with the Vikings, picking off five passes in 2022 and defending 15 more.

Pittsburgh's void at corner became bigger when free agent Cam Sutton signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Lions. Peterson will join veterans Levi Wallace, Arthur Maulet and Ahkello Witherspoon in a remade Steelers secondary. The team also could bring back William Jackson III at a lower salary after cutting him this offseason for cap relief.

On Monday, Peterson spoke on the All Things Covered Podcast with former Steelers CB Bryant McFadden as the news of his signing developed.

"Obviously love coach (Mike) Tomlin and what he brings to the table," Peterson told McFadden. "And just how consistent he is. How consistent the defense is. How consistent his team is, year in and year out. They're always in position to win ballgames, and that's all you can ask for.

"Always been a big fan of how Mike T teams are always prepared to play a football game, even if they are out-matched on paper."
