Joey Porter Jr contract negotiations

Great advice from Vince.

Listen to him Joey.

 

holding on to other players
holding in
holding out
grabbing other players
grabbing headlines

i sense a pattern here.

 

I think that this is just a false belief by many. Oh, he struggles in zone and Graham uses more zone... Except that he was the second best corner in zone coverage when targeted in the whole league last year according to PFF metrics. Now, is he better in man? Yes. That is where he's his best... but even a heavy zone team is going to only be in zone 65% of the time. Also, he was a man heavy guy early in his career, so it's not like he is locked into one way of doing things... his most defining trait is adaptability. If Graham can't figure out how to utilize a lockdown man coverage corner, then maybe he shouldn't be a DC in the league. I'm certain he will figure out.

 

Lawrence Timmons offered some too



Didn't good ol James Harrison tell LevBell to fake an injury and get paid

 

I remember that game, and didn't Timmons do that more than once?

 

But a man's gotta feed his family....

 

It's like when they exploited the rules until the other team started complaining and they had the rule redefined. I dont think they set out to exploit this but more likely some if the building staff noticed it and then went to Belichick and he said sure keep doing it. Ive said it before the guy was so OCD that he just had to have everything available. It's why I dont buy the 4 tape story and why Goodell destroyed the evidence because it proved that it was still an ongoing issue that he had to have it. Im sure he has bookcases full of binders on every team/coach with breakdowns, plays, tendencies. Belichick to this day won't admit what he was doing was wrong. He doesn't see wrong or right just the need for the information.

 

He did it at least twice both in Florida if memory serves. They were forced to wear black jerseys in that Florida heat and trying to hydrate and he blew chunks.

 

I remember when posters thought the Steelers were the bad guys and wouldn’t pay the man

Or they were letting the Browns or other teams set the pay

The Steelers are doing what I suggested they would do

I was right they are right

Naturally

 

Funny, I thought he said "the people upstairs". I didn't know if Joey was talking about his agent or God.

 

Funny that some fool thinks that letting the cornerback market get more expensive before signing Porter was the smart thing to do.

 

here is a thought joey. sit on the bench. keep waiting for your money while the others honor their contracts. you haven't really practiced. you may be good but playing half azzed won't earn you a thing. sit there and stew and the steelers will own you for 3 more years after this. rant over.

 

Y'all know the Steelers helped create this problem by sitting on their hands all offseason while other cornerbacks got paid, too, right?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with how Porter is handling this either, but he's just following the example of his leaders, Watt and Heyward.

 

LOL... Joey Porter a man without a single Pro Bowl appearance, a man without a single All-Pro selection and you are comparing him to DPOY TJ Watt and 6 time All-Pro Cam Heyward? Can you see the difference???



Joey is going to make $4 million this year, and if tagged $24 million next year. If the Steelers don't think he is currently worth $30 million how is waiting going to hurt them?
