Availability
The Pittsburgh Steelers released Patrick Peterson.
Fantasy Impact
Peterson played one season with Pittsburgh. He'll likely sign another one-year or short-term deal with another team in free agency as soon as next week.
CB Patrick Peterson has agreed to terms with the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
The 32-year-old defensive back played two seasons in Minnesota, collecting six interceptions. He has 111 career INTs and allowed passer ratings of 78.6 and 79.7 in his two years as a Viking.
Patrick Peterson expressed interest in playing for the Bengals when speaking to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Fantasy Impact
Peterson is a free agent and would fill a need at cornerback for the Bengals. The 32-year-old played in 17 games last season with the Vikings, registering five interceptions and 15 passes defensed. Peterson stated he is interested in a team that has a chance to compete for a Super Bowl, so he is likely to focus in on a limited number of teams.
The Minnesota Vikings have come to terms on a new, one-year with free-agent CB Patrick Peterson.
Fantasy Impact
Peterson, an eight-time Pro Bowler, is returning to Minnesota on a short-term deal. The specifics of the deal are still unknown, but he should be a nice veteran presence and solid cover corner in a very thin Vikings secondary.
Vikings CB Patrick Peterson activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list by team on Tuesday ahead of Thursday's Week 14 game vs the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Assuming he plays right away, Peterson's presence in the lineup on Thursday would be extremely impactful given that Minnesota has allowed the most points to opposing WRs this season. This is definitely good news for the former All-Pro.
