Joey Porter Jr. trade grades: Who won Cowboys and Steelers deal?
Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has been traded to the Dallas Cowboys by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's hand out some grades.
In a recent trade between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was dealt to the Cowboys. The move came after contract negotiations between Porter and the Steelers stalled, partly due to his back injury. The Cowboys received Porter in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.
The grade for the Cowboys' trade is B, as they received a valuable defensive upgrade and a player who could help alleviate their yards by the bunch. The contract dispute with Porter remains unresolved, and it will be interesting to see if the Cowboys will give him the contract he is seeking. Both sides received a second-round pick, which could potentially develop into a replacement for Porter.
The Steelers trade grade is B+, as they traded a player who might have held out after his injury healed for something in return.
