Joey Porter Jr Contract

I'm all for that last part. Like I said before, if it had been up to me , we would have drafted Gonzalez, and JPJ the same year, 1, and 2.

 

ohh std, the whole draft would be corners if you were picking. ok maybe throw in a safety.

 

seriously though, i would rather see pierre signed and asante samuel. we did draft kent but he may never make the field for us. we need a safety. i'd love kamron curl and draft one. we do have castro to add at strong safety already. i also might extend echols.

 

Pittsburgh doesn't have much of a choice regarding JPJ's contract. He is the best Corner the Steelers have had since Ike Taylor. Other than Joe Haden, whomever is a close second.... isn't remotely a close second. Starting Corners are already difficult to find as it is; this years draft being a massive exception to that rule.


Corners though like JPJ?! Good luck finding another like him. He is easily a Top 10 Corner and there can be debates for him being placed in the top five; production or not.


Long story short?! Peezy Jr is getting paid.


End of discussion.

 

While all of these things may be true, it doesnt doesn't make him even crack the top 10 in the league and sure as heck not worth highest CB pay. Of course I want the steelers to try and keep him but I don't want to see the infamous disappearing act once a guy gets the fat payday. Too many examples of that to ignore. We need to spend more money on offense, not continuing to to pour money into the defense like has happened the last several years.
