As a player, Porter is worth a pick in between 20-40. McDuffie, who is in the same tier, went for 29, a 5th, a 6th and a 2027 3rd. I think McDuffie is a little bit better than Porter, but its close. So I would have Porters value pretty close to what McDuffie went for. I think if we tagged and traded Porter, we would get a top 40 pick
Yeah? Steelers media is cool with his back miraculously healing? I somehow doubt that.
1053 had someone on from Porter and he raved about how good of a guy he js.....then took the time to remind them Pickens is bad lol. Just seems like they are more upset at the front office.
Yeah im completely shocked Steelers couldn't get at least next year's 2nd from someone.
So we are ok with Porter faking an injury to get out of Pittsburgh, but we arent ok with Micah doing the same to get away from this circus?
You get it. Fans will find a way to justify anything regardless of the hypocrisy involved.
No they just lap up whatever jerry feeds them.
Like I said, if he was doing this here they'd all hate him. Stay tuned, because he might still do it if he doesn't get a deal on the table soon
Look at who his agent is.
The Ravens gave up two first round picks for Crosby. Are you suggesting Dallas should have outbided them?
Wonder if this becomes a trend with this agent what the league could do about it.
Maybe Jerry should have kept his big mouth shut about not knowing his name.
That's what all of society is now so no difference. "Truth and honor! Oh wait, can I benefit? Let me lie like a rug and gimme, gimme, gimme. Forgive me, Father." Lol.
To be fair, Steelers had all summer to get a contract done. They tried to call the players bluff. Their policy of not negotiating during the season or giving out guaranteed money after year 1 is a bit silly. They are in danger of sliding into obscurity if they don't change their ways of doing business. Sound familiar?
Indecision killed them there. They had talks about it in the offseason. At that point they should done it if they weren't going to pay him. He would have gotten them a comparable package to McDuffie. After that teams were probably waiting on how the Gonzalez situation played out before pivoting. After his "back injury" made it obvious he was done there, his value tanked. If he was willing to play for them, they still could have gotten a #1
I’m certainly not saying that.
Not sayin I agree with how these players and others go about their business, but sometimes you have to use whatever leverage that's available to you.
Was more of a general statement
