Porter served notice.......

And it ain't gonna be cheap. State's he's top 5 CB (agreed). Knows he doesn't have Int but highlights lack of TD'S against, success vs. Targets and declining penalties. Choice is pay the piper or trade him with a first minimum in '27 in the very important QB draft. What say you?
And you might be looking at North of 32 million.

Id trade him for a first in 27 and 2nd in this years.

Yep. And in my humble opinion this attitude sucks balls. We finally get a top 5 CB. We’ve been screaming for one for years and years. Let’s trade him away in his prime.

We’re a team of average to a hair above average players. With TJ the only superstar whose ship has sailed from that status.
Let’s just continue to sign FA’s well,well,past their prime who once had that star status. Maybe we should trade Joey JR and sign him when he’s in his 30’s as a FA on the cheap.
Mann oh Mann.

Sign him!!

Idk boys, this one may be tempting. I certainly can see both sides of the argument here but consider this…
Could you lure a team in like the Jets for their number one in 27 and their 2’nd this draft? Afterall they need to replace Sauce Gardner and may bite.
Draft Porter’s replacement with the second round pick this year from Jets.
Next year most likely that first from the jets will be a high pick and could be used to draft our QB.
Just thinking out of the box here! Paying him 32 million or better on top of the horrible contract given to Watt concerns me.
What say you?

I'm 50/50 on the sign or trade question. My concern is that this team isn't going anywhere without a franchise QB. Paying 2-3 defensive players top 5 money isn't even going to get a playoff win, much less a Super Bowl. If a trade helps get a franchise QB, I'm all for it.

Posts like these is a reminder how long it's been since the Steelers have drafted and developed good enough players to re-sign. Signing JPJ is a no brainer. Look at the top teams in the NFL this season:
Seattle - Witherspoon
New England - Gonzalez
Denver - Surtain
Rams - just traded for McDuffie

Top teams have shutdown CBs. The Steelers have one and they should not give him away.

I think you have to pay him. We probably won't be strapped to a big QB contract for a few years still so may as well sign the good players we have. I think porter played pretty well and I'm hoping in a different system it will allow him and others to really break out

 

[Superman]

Pay him - top 10 salary, but not top 5
