Joey Porter Jr contract negotiations

I loved it when Khan said that Joey has been examined by the Steelers medical staff, and they said he is good to go.

Now we just have to wait and see if Joey shows up to practice tomorrow, or if this finally because a real Hold-Out situation; with fines and missing game checks.

 

Their actions were selfish, not those of leaders helping the team. Also, Porter didn't put himself on the PUP list. The Steelers did that.

It is perfectly reasonable to say that he should be handling this differently, but you are making quite a few assumptions to support dubious conclusions.

 

Heyward wasn’t being unreasonable with his demands he was saying look you promised me this last season top dollar. He wasn’t faking an injury either. He also had a long history of multiple contracts with the Steelers so it was pretty obvious there was going to be comprise there and it was going to get done. Again I just think JPJ is very premature in acting like this. He had one really good year.

 

Yes they put him on the Pup list because they took his word for it. Now they took him off it and eluded to him never being injured. We will see if he practices now. Again it’s his first renewable contract. Heyward and Watt didn’t act like this the first go around.
