Steelers at Crossroads with Porter | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Steelers face a pivotal decision on Joey Porter Jr., who’s holding out as he enters the final year of his rookie deal—potentially tradeable. A rumored deal with the Bears could net Pittsburgh two future draft picks while bolstering Chicago’s shaky secondary. The twist? Porter was drafted in the first round (32nd overall) due to a Dolphins pick forfeiture, meaning Pittsburgh didn’t get the extra year to evaluate him. New coach Mike McCarthy wants Porter on the field and understands the business side, but the team must now choose: lock him in long-term or cash in now.
