Jerry Jones hints that Cowboys have interest in Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr.
Cowboys, Steelers may come together for Joey Porter Jr trade.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated on 105.3 The Fan that the team is considering roster upgrades. When the Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was mentioned in the context, Jones did not address him directly, citing NFL tampering rules. This confirmation of ongoing conversations does not necessarily confirm any specific interest or negotiations with Porter.
However, the Cowboys have faced defensive backfield injuries, including P.J. Locke's injury and Jalen Thompson's hamstring issue, which may have prompted their interest in adding depth to the secondary. Porter is currently under his rookie contract and has dealt with a contract situation and a back injury, which could complicate any potential trade talks.
For now, Jones' comments have not confirmed Dallas' interest in Porter, but his name has surfaced in discussions about roster improvements.
