Porter Jr. Stuck Without Deal | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Joey Porter Jr. is the lone Steelers cornerback from his draft class still without a new contract, as Christian Gonzalez’s $135M deal sets a new market standard — and with kickoff just five days away, time is running out. The Steelers won’t negotiate once the season starts, meaning Porter could play out his rookie deal for under $4M if nothing changes by Sunday. Trade rumors swirl, but insiders say no deal is close. Still, Porter had a stellar rookie year, shutting down elite receivers, and the team’s depth chart now lists him as an “OR” starter — a clear message: get ready to play while they sort out his future.
