Did the Cowboys overpay for Porter?

[Hawkeye0202]

For a 2028 2nd-round pick? Hell no (IMO) ..........

He's a Cowboy for a min 2 years
His current salary is $3.9M, and the 2027 franchise tag could be approx $23M ( 2026 is $21M ). That's about $28M over 2 years for an average $14M per year for a solid top-10 CB.

I'll make this deal every day............




Terrance Newman vibes.......never had a lot of interceptions but rarely gave up TDs

Essentially a 2027 third round pick plus a sixth. Overpaid? Of course not. I can't believe Steelers keeps allowing the Cowboys to steal their lunch money

 

[Cowboyny]

With this draft reportedly the best in years, Steelers should of demanded a pick

 

[CWR]

Hes a top 10 cover corner.

He is not a ball Hawk.

A second in 2028 is the equivalent of a 3rd in 2027 per draft trading charts.

If he isn't extended they likely pick up a 3 for a compensatory pick.

This is stupid.

Imagine if we traded for a 1st round pick how happy they'd be!!! Damn we just can't win!!!!!

For a 14 game rental? Way overpaid. Kneejerk reaction by Jerry.

Here's the kicker. He turned down 27 mil/season from the Steelers and is a UFA after this season. You sure we didn't overpay?

Guys who are coming up for contract are available for mid round picks all the time, often very good players.

And think about this. What do we need? LBs and maybe edge rushers, right? We pay Porter and all that goes out the window. Did we overpay for a 14 game rental?

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Consensus outside of Cowboy land seems to be Jerry overpaid. Why would we expect anything different.

I disagree .......... what would you have offered?

Not sure how it's a 'kneejerk'........they started talking with the Steelers at the beginning of TC.
