Steelers Reportedly Have Two NFC Playoff Contenders Interested in Joey Porter Jr.
Pittsburgh is seeking strong compensation as Porter remains in the final year of his deal and has yet to play this season because of a back injury.
- On Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions are among a "handful of teams" making inquiries about trading for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
- The trade interest follows a prolonged contract impasse, as the Steelers traditionally refuse to negotiate deals during the season, leaving Porter in the final year of his $3.9 million contract.
- Porter has not played this season due to a back injury, missing his third game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals while undergoing what the team describes as "conditioning."
- Both inquiring teams face secondary challenges, with the Cowboys losing cornerback Cobie Durant to injury, though Pittsburgh reportedly seeks a "strong compensation package" to finalize any deal.
- With the trade deadline arriving in 44 days on the Tuesday after Week 9, the Steelers remain patient while evaluating whether to move their fourth-year star or retain him.
