In two weeks, the 2023 NFL offseason will be in full swing.

For the Pittsburgh Steelers, and every other team that's not playing in the Super Bowl, the offseason has essentially already started.

The Steelers are discussing their off-season strategy. Who is re-signed? Who gets traded? Which free agents will the franchise target? What's the draft board look like?

Those are all conversations that are actively happening behind the scenes.

One player that Pittsburgh has to make a decision on is cornerback Cam Sutton.

Sutton, who will be a free agent in March, sat down recently with Dale Lolley of Steelers.com and he talked about his future.

"I feel like I’ve established a lot here," said Sutton. "Seen so much ball. Year in and year out, just a comfortability with guys in the system. The expectations that we have for ourselves. Being a part of a common goal is always special."

"I’m not a guy always being on the move, I just want to be around," added Sutton. "You know, like I’ve said, I feel like I’ve established a lot here, seeing so much ball just year in year out. And just a comfortability of the guys in the system."

It certainly sounds like Sutton wants to return to Pittsburgh in 2023.

And the Steelers should want him back. Sutton has developed into a solid NFL starter in recent seasons. In fact, according to Pro Football Focus, he was the No. 27 overall graded cornerback in 2022.

I'd be surprised if Sutton isn't back in Pittsburgh next season. He wants to be back and he's the type of player the Steelers usually find a way to keep. I think they find some common ground and work out a deal.
