Didn’t think Pierre was ranked so high. He signed 2 years for $8.5M with the Vikings.

Dollars are good. 2025 performance was great - allowed a 47 passer rating when targeted, similar to JP Jr. The downside is that he turns 30 about halfway through the ‘26 season.

Uh, understatement. He was rated the 11th best CB in the NFL last season by SIS. 33.3% completion against?!? That's shutdown.

Uhhh, I dunno. Liked signing Asante and pairing him up with Pierre n JPJ. Instead we lose Pierre n sign another version of him. With all things being equal and money wasn’t a prob why make it harder than it has to be?

Get rid of the "L" put in an "S" and we got us a "James Dean". And let's hope he is a rebel with a cause.

I've seen this mentioned several places. Dean being older.

Unless I screwed up reading the pipes and tubes of the internet....Dean is one entire month older than James Pierre.

If I knew that, I would have never approved this deal.

I'm pretty sure He's the top corner I wanted us to aquire.

I just hope our new DC keeps very close to our old system with being aggressive.

We now have at another low level CB1 or a high level cb2.

Mega kudos to the Steelers brass.

Thanks for the correction. Must have just read too fast. Or too dumb. Something related to getting old.
