TROUBLE for Steelers in Joey Porter Jr. contract talks? Where does Robert Spears-Jennings fit?
from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter discuss colleague Gerry Dulac's reporting on the Steelers' contract negotiations with Joey Porter Jr. Is there a chance the two sides won't reach an agreement on an extension before the season? How much is Porter Jr. realistically worth compared to other top corners like Patrick Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., Trent McDuffie and Sauce Gardner? And do the Steelers need him in their secondary with veterans like Jamel Dean and Jalen Ramsey aging and young players like Daylen Everette still finding their way? Our duo tackles those questions. Then later, Chris details his research on how realistic Mike McCarthy's goal of 55 touches per game can be for skill players including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Jaylen Warren. And he explains how he feels Robert Spears-Jennings fits into Patrick Graham's defense following his most recent film study on the PG website. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
