- The Joey Porter Jr. trade conversation is getting squeezed from both sides: Pittsburgh is said to be running into a serious negotiating snag, while a Cowboys-focused look at the market argues Dallas may not be the right landing spot anyway.
- Pittsburgh has likely reached the point of no return with Porter, but the asking price has not moved.
- The Steelers are seeking a second-round pick, and the problem is that teams are not lining up to meet it.
- For teams weighing the move, the question is not just whether Porter can help, but whether he is worth that kind of package.
- Dallas is the team most directly tied to the discussion, and the case against a deal starts with the Cowboys’ own roster and draft situation.
- Pittsburgh wants a second-round pick.
