The team is considering bringing back <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/william-jackson-iii\/\">William Jackson III<\/a> on a lower salary, after releasing him earlier in the offseason for cap reasons. He, along with Peterson, will be looking to boost the squad, filled with veterans such as <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/levi-wallace\/\">Levi Wallace<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/arthur-maulet\/\">Arthur Maulet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/ahkello-witherspoon\/\">Ahkello Witherspoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Peterson spoke of his signing for the Steelers in front of former Steelers CB Bryant McFadden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously love coach (Mike) Tomlin and what he brings to the table,&#8221; Peterson told McFadden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And just how consistent he is.
