Jordan Schultz reports multiple teams around the NFL have wondered about Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. as a potential trade target.
Schultz mentions Porter is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and teams are curious if Pittsburgh would consider moving him given the state of the cornerback market. Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon, Rams CB Trent McDuffie and Browns CB Denzel Ward all signed deals worth at least $31 million per year this offseason.
Porter, 26, is the son of longtime NFL OLB Joey Porter and was a three-year starter at Penn State, earning third-team All-Big 10 honors for two years and first-team honors his final season.
The Steelers selected Porter with the first pick of the second round in the 2023 NFL Draft. He’s entering the final year of a four-year, $9,618,343 rookie contract that included a $3,995,158 signing bonus and will be an unrestricted free agent in 2027.
In 2025, Porter appeared in 14 games for the Steelers and recorded 52 total tackles, one sack, one interception and 14 pass deflections.
We’ll have more on Porter and the Steelers as the news is available.
