Pittsburgh Steelers CB out for 8 games

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton was suspended for eight games by the NFL on Monday for violating the league’s code of conduct.

Sutton was released by the Detroit Lions on March 21, one day after the Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office publicly announced that it had issued a warrant for his arrest stemming from his involvement in an alleged domestic violence incident earlier that month. He was charged with assault and entered a pre-trial diversion program in April.

Sutton, 29, signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on June 5, returning to the team where he spent the first six years of his NFL career.

Sutton started 17 games for the Lions last season and recorded one interception and six passes defended.

“I met this guy in Knoxville, man, six, seven years ago, whenever, when he graduated from school,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in June when asked about Sutton. “He’s a great guy. He loves football.”

“It’s probably about the totality of our relationship, and I probably represent the mood of the organization in saying that it’s less about specific conversations, particularly recently, and more about the relationship that’s been built over a longer period of time.”
