The Steelers still need to address a number of positions on their roster before the 2024 NFL Draft. The black and gold may benefit by
adding some unsigned former Steelers from 2023, especially since NFL regulations now allow veterans to be on practice squads.

There are a lot of cornerbacks and safeties on this list, so be ready for that. Even though the Steelers decimated their secondary going
into the 2024 offseason, they still lack a lot of depth at those areas going into the draft.
After one season of a two-year contract, the Steelers parted ways with veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson in 2024, mostly to save cap
space. Even though Peterson is nearing the end of his career and isn’t worth CB2 money, he was a wise presence.
in the Steelers locker room who can play a variety of positions. The course of last season also saw an improvement in his covering.
Peterson is a strong option to rejoin the Steelers in 2024 in a depth role with a lower salary, and there appears to be interest from both
parties.
As a nickel cornerback for the Steelers in 2023, Sullivan played mediocrely. His awful coverage lapses probably contributed to his
nonexistent free agent market. However, there are currently no better choices for the Steelers at slot corner, and at least Sullivan is
familiar with the system. He wouldn’t be a bad addition to the training camp as a backup to whatever the Steelers’ current projections
are for the season if he can be obtained for the veteran minimum.
