Steelers reportedly set to sign CB Cameron Sutton to a one-year deal
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Steelers are reportedly set to bring back cornerback Cameron Sutton.
According to a report from Tom Pelissero, Sutton’s agency has said he will be signing with the Steelers.
Sutton spent six years with the Steelers between 2017 and 2022 and started 39 games. In that time he recorded eight interceptions, five forced fumbles, and two sacks. He also had 143 solo tackles.
Last season, Sutton was with the Detroit Lions and started all 17 games with one interception, one forced fumble, and 50 solo tackles.
Meanwhile, the Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac says that Sutton is meeting with the team today and will most likely sign a one-year, veteran minimum deal.
This offseason, an arrest warrant was issued for Sutton in Hillsborough County, Florida on March 20 on charges of domestic violence. Sutton ultimately turned himself into police on March 31 and was booked on one misdemeanor count of domestic battery and was released.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Sutton was released on his own recognizance.
While it’s not known yet, Sutton still could be subjected to discipline from the NFL.
Steelers also bolster defensive depth with Grayland Arnold
The Steelers also officially announced the signing of defensive back Grayland Arnold to a one-year contract.
Arnold was originally an undrafted free agent signing by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 and played in six games that season, starting one of them.
In the past three seasons, he’s been with the Houston Texans.
In 2023, Arnold had 15 tackles, 11 solo tackles, and a forced fumble.

Pittsburgh-area woman who drowned at Glacier National Park was an avid hiker who loved nature
NORTH APOLLO, Pa. (KDKA) — The North Apollo community is grieving the loss of a nurse who lost her life while hiking at a national park in Montana over the weekend.
Twenty-six-year-old Gillian Tones was visiting Glacier National Park in Montana with her boyfriend on Sunday when the National Parks Service said she slipped on wet, slick rocks and fell into a creek.
A spokesperson said Tones was “quickly swept up by the cold, fast moving water and went over a series of smaller waterfalls, then was pinned underwater by a log for several minutes until heroic efforts by other park visitors lead to pulling her from the river.”
Tones was an Apollo-Ridge High School graduate in 2015 before attending Westmoreland Community College for nursing.
Her family told KDKA-TV on Wednesday that Tones was a traveling nurse who was working at West Penn Hospital before her trip.
“She was an avid hiker and loved being outdoors and experiencing nature,” her brother Dillon Tones said. “Words can’t describe her. She was passionate and loved deeply.”
Her family said they’re thankful for those who risked their lives trying to save her, including her boyfriend Dominic.
“She knew how fragile life was and I think she’s happy with the life she lived,” Dillon Tones said.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
