Teams interested in Joey Porter Jr. trade
The 26-year-old cornerback is seeking a contract extension this offseason.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is reportedly a potential trade target for multiple NFL teams, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Porter, a Pro Bowl-caliber corner, is in the final year of his rookie contract. With the cornerback market now averaging over $30 million per year, teams are wondering if Pittsburgh could be open to a move.
The Steelers have already completed contract extensions with three players from the 2023 draft class this offseason, including Nick Herbig, Darnell Washington, and Keeanu Benton. Porter started the 2026 season on the physically unable to perform list due to a reported back injury. While Schultz's report is vague about whether the Steelers have any interest in trading Porter, it doesn't mention any team reaching out to Pittsburgh.
Steelers beat writers, such as Alan Saunder of Steelers Now, have responded, suggesting it would be a surprise if Pittsburgh moved on from Porter this year.
