The rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 is about 2023. A look to the future, the players who can turn the Steelers around a year from now. On paper, the trade for CB William Jackson III didn’t seem to come at much of a cost. A 2025 conditional, late round pick swap. That’s about as little as a team can give up for a player. But there is a cost. The chance to evaluate a corner like James Pierre.
I have no delusions over who Pierre might be. He’s not the next shutdown corner, the next Ike Taylor.
