Who won Joey Porter Jr. trade? Grading deal between Cowboys, Steelers

Trade activity has accelerated following a previous player movement involving the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants. Late on Wednesday, September 30, reporter Tom Pelissero revealed that the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to transfer cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2028 second-round selection and a 2027 sixth-round pick. This transaction resolves a prolonged stalemate between the franchises, which previously collaborated on deals involving George Pickens and Broderick Jones.

Jerry Jones recently offered a cryptic update regarding the team's defensive approach, as Dallas has already deployed 12 different defensive backs through the initial three weeks while yielding the league's third-highest expected points added per pass play.
