Veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson has left little doubt that he will return for the 2024 NFL season. But in his latest tweet, Peterson didn’t seem 100% confident that it will be with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Peterson addressed his NFL future on his X (formerly Twitter) account on January 25.
“In control of my Destiny, Never in Doubt..,” wrote Peterson.
“YEAR 13, Thank You!!! Continuing to persevere while balancing various roles. What lies ahead?
“Year 14… Be Back soon…”
Peterson spent his first season with the Steelers during 2023. It produced mixed results.
While Peterson was a strong locker room presence and mentor to rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr., his play was inconsistent. He is also now five years removed from his last Pro Bowl season and will turn 34 in July.
For those reasons and his $9.775 million cap hit, NFL pundits have floated Peterson as a possible cut candidate early this offseason.
