The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary for the 2024 season appears mostly set with the addition of slot cornerback Cam Sutton earlier this spring. The starting lineup is expected to include Sutton, Donte Jackson, Joey Porter Jr., Minkah Fitzpatrick, and DeShon Elliott. However, Sutton’s potential suspension following a domestic violence arrest could impact this arrangement. The team also has quality depth with players like Cory Trice Jr., Darius Rush, Josiah Scott, Beanie Bishop, Damontae Kazee, Miles Killebrew, and Ryan Watts.
Despite this depth, betting markets suggest the Steelers might sign another defensive back from the free agent pool. Odds from SportsBetting.ag indicate that the Steelers are considered strong contenders to sign top free agents, with 20/1 odds for former All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore, 22/1 for All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard, and 25/1 for All-Pro safety Justin Simmons. Gilmore, 33, had a notable season with the Dallas Cowboys last year. Howard, 31, recently released by the Miami Dolphins, is dealing with off-field issues but claims to be fully cleared to play.
