Joey Porter Jr contract negotiations

baker mayfield 3-yr, $165 million.
why did we wait to sign Will Howard?? Now he’s going to cost even more!!!

 

And yet there is still those who don’t understand this and don’t understand there is nothing lost by waiting and don’t understand Porter has no leverage no matter how kindly I have been to explain it

 

DOGDAMMIT!!!~!

 

Steelers officially offered him a contract tonight....

 

The issue is that some don't understand that the cost control is priced into the contract.

And the fact that Porter is less cost-controlled than the other two big CBs that signed isn't good for the Steelers leverage wise.

 

That's one of the more ridiculous comparisons I've seen on this board, which is saying something.

 

What some here are missing is that this isn't just about getting him on the field in 2026. It is about keeping him beyond that.

 

I still feel confident that this will work itself out before game day. I'm not worried.

 

I am relatively confident that Porter will play Sunday. I am not all that confident it will be with a contract extension in place, which makes me think he will be gone as soon as he can get out.

 

If it doesn't get done Friday Dulac will say he meant Good Friday.

 

They could in theory tag him the next two years and in that scenario including this year only pay around 60 million total or 20 per year. Now how disgruntled would he be? I’m sure very.

 

Is there any doubt the second year would turn into a repeat of Le'Veon Bell's situation? That turns out well for nobody. That's a good way to damage the locker room and signal to other players that they don't want to be in Pittsburgh.

 

this team hasn't drafted a good corner since Ike Taylor.. i wouldn't think they'd let the one guy they finally did draft well, leave over a contract dispute. it's not like we have money tied up with a franchise QB.. this is a passing league, teams need quality CBs more than ever. i'm confident they'll get him locked up soon.
