Joey Porter Jr. felt ‘disrespected’ by Steelers before trade to Cowboys

Following a trade that sent him to the Dallas franchise, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. disclosed that he was unsatisfied with his previous situation in Pittsburgh.

During his media availability on Thursday, the twenty-six-year-rosy defender remarked that contract negotiations with the Steelers left him feeling underappreciated and undervalued.

Now settled in Texas, the former 2023 draft pick noted that his new organization has made a much stronger effort to demonstrate his worth during their initial discussions. The shift comes after a turbulent final period in Pittsburgh that culminated in a sudden departure following a practice dispute.
