Free agent CB James Pierre is reportedly expected to draw interest from 8-9 teams.

Pierre has made only 13 professional starts across his six years in the NFL. He was primarily involved on special teams with Pittsburgh. With the way the corner back market is looking, he is expected to draw heavy interest.
