The #Vikings are signing CB James Pierre, source confirms @CameronWolfe. Has been with the Steelers since 2020. Familiarity with Brian Flores. He's 29 years old, was highly effective last year in coverage.

Should also note: Crossover here with new Vikings DBs coach Gerald Alexander. So, really good intel for the Vikings. Depth with Byron Murphy Jr. and Isaiah Rodgers.

Apparently, he was popular....8 or 9 teams were interested.

Pierre is 29, 6-2, 185. Flores loves him some skinny CBs. Really high PFF coverage grades last year. Has some of the same characteristics of the Rodgers signing last year.

the fact the steelers wanted him back and the niners were interested also suggests that this is more of a get than just a name to fill out a roster move.

reports say 2 years 8.5 million

Pierre also played for Vikings new defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander, who left the Steelers to join the Vikings after the Vikings lost Daronte Jones to the Commanders.
