Steelers Could Be Desperate Enough To Bring Back Cam Sutton Amidst His Legal Troubles: “They Would Accept Him Back”

[SteelerNation.com News]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback, Cam Sutton is facing a challenging situation following his entanglement with the law. Sutton has been charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic battery, leading to his release from the Detroit Lions, merely a year after signing a lucrative three-year, $33 million deal with the team.

Not sure if they would take him back. I guess it would depend on the circumstances surrounding his misdemeanor.

I’d think that by the time the season, or train ing camp starts, the outcome of sentencing would be known. I think the STEELERS will have a silent agreement in place, until his case is decided.

I do know that under the circumstances, he would be a very c heap option for a CAP strapped team.
Sounds like he might take near any deal to get back here.

I know nothing about law, but I would think dropping it from a felony to a misdemeanor, AFTER he was evading police for a few weeks may be telling? Maybe there isn't that much there?

I think there is less than a one percent chance of them bringing him back. Two years ago I would have said there was zero percent chance. Omar does things a bit different though.

ITs none of our business. Coach T told us this.

I think the percentage is higher, but then until the charges have progressed enough, we will never know. He definitely had a hand in making that Detroit defense much better, we could use his services here (pending on the charges and the severity of them).

I was surprised to see it drop to a misdemeanor, after all the hoopla of him being on the lamb. But legal concerns aside, I read that he played subpar football last year and was burnt often. Can anyone substantiate on Sutton's play last year? Detroit's CBs were deemed a weak spot.

that would explain the quick release without waiting for the situation to develop, an easy exit from an albatross contract

Vet Minimum? We know what he looks like in the black and gold

He was only decent his last year in Pgh, and even then, he wasn't "all that." He showed some flashes. I guess in 2023 he was flimsy in Det.

He brought up CNN, not me. Put me on ignore since I am putting you on ignore. I

Meh Cam Sutton was ok, but he is definitely better inside than outside... he wanted that outside money... he can play there in a pinch but he shouldn't be there all the time

It seems he took the classic "Up arrow, big contract, down arrow" path. He had a decent 2022 in Pgh (3 ints), got his big new deal in Det., and then slipped back to "average" at best. I wouldn't expect a pro bowl level 2024 from him, in my humble opinion. But he could help our leaky secondary, who knows, but he ain't no savior, that's for sure.

If you look at precedent on this type of thing what five games. If they sit down with the guy and find out what kind of changes he is making......I would not say no. Long as its an easy out contract. Can tell you for sure if he isn't a locker room problem if not Pgh somewhere else. I think Detroit had no choice because he was not turning himself in.

They badly need an inside guy.
