Lions Eye Porter Jr. in Free Agency | Pittsburgh Steelers News

The Detroit Lions are eyeing Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. as a potential upgrade to pair with D.J. Reed, especially after Terrion Arnold’s arrest derailed their original plan. Porter Jr., with 41 career starts and elite coverage metrics, outpaces Rock Ya-Sin’s limited experience and middling PFF grades. While the Steelers may hesitate to pay him top dollar due to his lack of Pro Bowl honors and penalty history, the rising demand for corners and looming salary cap increases make him a hot commodity. Trading him now would require heavy return—something Detroit might balk at—but if Pittsburgh doesn’t act, another team will. The Lions’ pursuit hinges on whether they’re willing to gamble big for a proven starter. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
