The Pittsburgh Steelers will need to make some serious salary cap decisions to help get them in a position to continue the roster rebuild. One player who could end up on the block is cornerback Patrick Peterson. Peterson wants to stick around but with a $9.775 million cap hit and a potential savings of $6.85 million on the line, he could be on his way out.
If Peterson is cut and Levi Wallace isn’t re-signed, this leaves the Steelers with only one viable starting cornerback. Here are our six favorite cornerbacks in the 2024 NFL draft and the only guys in this draft we believe can come in and start right away.
Cooper DeJean - Iowa
Terrion Arnold - Alabama
Nate Wiggins - Clemson
Quinyon Mitchell - Toledo
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. - Missouri
T.J. Tampa - Iowa State
