Steelers Weigh Joey Porter Jr. Contract | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Steelers eye extending Joey Porter Jr.’s contract as he enters his final year of rookie deal, with analysts like Steve Palazzolo suggesting a more modest offer—$22–24M annually—since he’s not yet in elite cornerback tier. While Christian Gonzalez’s $33M average deal sets a high bar, the Steelers aren’t poised to match it. Porter had a standout 2023 season (14 PD, 52 tackles) and remains a key playmaker for a defense set to upgrade with a new coordinator and veteran help. The team’s draft history and need to retain him make this a pivotal negotiation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
