Good depth signing and probably cheap. Wasn't targeted a ton but a 35% Completion% against and 3.1 yds/comp is solid

great news
we're a shoo-in for the Super Bowl now, lol

seriously, good depth piece at the position

[hawaiiansteel]

Pierre will probably be a starter again.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

solid signing

[Captain Lemming]

Solid depth piece.

JP had good numbers and unlike say Bush the Steelers want him back. He is a valuable sub package player.

not to mention a starter.

I have nothing against the guy. He occasionally makes a play and has been solid depth, although I am not sure I would trust him to start just yet. They know who he is and he was cheap, so it was a good signing.

But I don't think it is a one to one comparison to Bush. Bush was a former No. 1 and Pierre was signed as a FA. If Bush would have accepted a cheap one year deal to serve as IL depth, I think that would have been a good move also. He would probably be higher quality depth than Pierre. Maybe a higher quality starter than Pierre also, but neither would be a good quality starter.

I never wrote that he is the sure starter at CB. Please show me where I said that, and stop with the clown like threads indictating that I did. Pierre is a good sub package player in short man or zone, but should not be left 1 on 1 covering a speedy WR, especially deep coverage. He is easily burned in this type of coverege.

Yep.

Good depth. Maybe can start in a pinch.

Yep. And probably a good value. Likely no real cap hit after displacement (i.e. likely making the minimum).

And you never know. Some guys are late bloomers.
