Dallas Cowboys among teams calling Steelers about Joey Porter Jr trade

As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for their Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is expected to sit out his third consecutive contest amid ongoing contract negotiations.

In light of the ongoing stalemate regarding a new deal, multiple franchises have reached out to Pittsburgh to explore a potential deal for the fourth-year defensive standout. Insiders note that both the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions are among the organizations making preliminary inquiries regarding his availability.

While leadership in Pittsburgh would be open to entertaining proposals, any agreement would require a substantial return in trade compensation. With the front office maintaining a firm stance against negotiating new contracts during the regular season, a departure appears increasingly probable.
