Cam Sutton is returning to the Steelers on a one-year deal

At 10-7 in 2023, the Steelers made the 2024 postseason as the 7th seed. They had a matchup vs. the Buffalo Bills in the wildcard round and lost 31-17. Pittsburgh has made some significant changes to its offense for 2024. The team traded QB Kenny Pickett to the Eagles in exchange for a third-round pick. 

With Pickett gone, the team brought in former Broncos QB Russell Wilson and former Bears QB Justin Fields. Giving the Steelers a talented QB room. Additionally, the team is trying to bolster their secondary this offseason. Today, the Steelers resigned one of their former players to a one-year deal. Former third-round pick Cam Sutton is returning to the team in 2024.

He let up a career-worst 1,173 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. In March, Sutton was released by the Lions after one season. The Steelers were quick to re-sign…
