2026 Projections
Signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Vikings in March of 2026.
Agrees to two-year deal with MIN
Pierre agreed to a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Vikings on Monday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Once Pierre's deal becomes official Wednesday at the start of the new league year, it will feature $3.7 million in guaranteed money and a $2.5 million signing bonus. He's expected to take over as Minnesota's slot cornerback. Pierre filled that role for the Steelers in 2025 but also filled in capably on the outside when injuries struck Pittsburgh's cornerback room. He notched 11 passes defensed in 14 appearances during the 2025 regular season.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Pierre took a step forward during the 2021 season, logging 47 tackles (37 solo), an interception, three forced fumbles and four pass defenses over 17 games. He saw inconsistent playing time on defense early in the year but played exclusively on special teams over the final five weeks of the regular season. He should have the chance to compete for additional defensive snaps in 2022 after the Steelers lost several cornerbacks during the offseason.
