Steelers make huge splash with free agent signing
Pittsburgh is betting on a hall of fame talent.
The Pittsburgh Steelers waited nearly five hours until they signed a free agent, but the wait proved to be worth it.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media broke the big news, announcing Patrick Peterson to Pittsburgh via Twitter.
Peterson is one of the most decorated players currently active in the NFL. The South Florida legend and famed LSU Tiger has had success at every step of his football journey.
An eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, Peterson has patrolled the secondary of the Cardinals and Vikings in most recent seasons with authority.
Even at 32 years old, Peterson is coming off one of his better seasons as a pro, recording five interceptions, 15 pass breakups, and 66 tackles.
A member of the Hall of Fame's all-decade team for the 2010's Peterson is sure to grace the halls of Canton one day.
Patience is a virtue at times, and Pittsburgh is proving it to be true today.
