‘the players definitely get a piece of the pie and that’s partly what is a little annoying here. When a player is all about themself it’s not the owner they are hurting because the owners spend nearly up to the salary cap every year it’s the other players on the team because there is less to go around. JPJ is t the only player on the team.

No, but he just watched the team give out extensions to guys who aren't even full-time starters. He is a better player than Herbig. He is a far better player than Benton.

I stll can't believe anybody actually went so far as to call wha the is doing immoral, but the team putting the screws to him because it has leverage is brilliant. The truth is, there is nothing immoral about either position.

Trying to get market value is greed that you don't like. That's cute.

Immoral? Wow. That's ..um...well, that's a take, I guess.

Trying to be the highest paid is greed.

Who here would trade Porter for a next year`s 1st round draft pick? Maybe a poll about this?

It's just like fans that tell the owners who they should sign, who they should cut, who they should draft, how much they should pay someone or trade them. It's the same for everyone, including you.

Some people here want the team to sign Porter based on the kind of football player he is and how good he is and will be. I've been watching this guy play football for 7 years. Him playing well isn't some trend. He's been shutting receivers down his entire career. When in college, Marvin Harrison Jr. was lighting up everyone in the country. Nobody could slow him down. He dominated every team and every corner he faced......except Joey Porter Jr.

Everybody has been questioning Porter his entire career, and all he does is prevent great wide receivers from catching passes.

My favorite is listening to people here complain that he isn't as good in zone coverage. He plays straight up against the best WR in the NFL twice a year in Jamar Chase. He follows him around the field most of the time and he limits his stats. He does this by himself in coverage. He doesn't need combo coverage. He doesn't need to play with safety help over the top. He lines up against the best players and stops them.

I don't even know if people here understand that one corner can play man coverage while the rest of the defense plays zone. It can be implemented to play that way. Porter takes away the best receiver and that allows the other 10 players to defend the rest of the field. That is how impactful a great cornerback can be.

This doesn't mean I want the team to pay him $36 million a year. I'm just explaining that there are football reasons why Porter is worth the money. There are also no reasons why the team can't afford to pay him or shouldn't pay him.

Someone earlier in this thread said that he signed his contract and should honor it. He signed his rookie contract, which is a slotted contract. His salary is limited by where he was drafted. He has outplayed that contract and anyone here being intellectually honest knows that is the case. He has been playing for a few million while stiffs playing everywhere in the NFL are making multiple times his salary the last three seasons. To deny this is just silly. It is fact.

Also, you have no idea what kind of person Joey Porter Jr is. You don't know him in any way. This is how the game is played, and we are at the beginning of the process. Let's see how this ends. Getting what you are worth on the open market is exactly how business works. If you own a business and demand for your product is through the roof...you're raising your prices. That's how business works. If you say you wouldn't, you're lying.

I grew up in a family business. I know how business works.

If you are trying to argue that ownership isn't making enough money, you are on the wrong side of the argument.

The NFL grossed about $14,500,000,000 last season.

Each NFL franchise generated over $450,000,000 gross.

The number keep going up exponentially.

If the business is making more money, the talent(workers) are going to make more money too. It's simple business.
