Steelers bringing back Sutton on 1-year deal
The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent cornerback Cameron Sutton to a one-year deal, the team announced Wednesday.
Originally drafted by the Steelers in 2017, Sutton played for the AFC North club for six seasons before spending the 2023 campaign with the Detroit Lions.
A warrant was issued for Sutton's arrest for domestic battery by strangulation in early March, but police were unable to locate him for weeks. The Lions released Sutton on March 21 upon learning of the warrant. The 29-year-old turned himself in March 31 and was charged with misdemeanor battery, per ESPN.
Sutton appeared in 84 games (39 starts) for the Steelers from 2017-22, producing 168 tackles, 38 pass defenses, and eight interceptions. He helped the Lions get to the NFC Championship Game last season, starting all 17 regular-season games and three playoff contests.
