Porter Jr. Urged to Avoid Bell-Style Holdout as Steelers Near Week 1

Joey Porter Jr. signals he may play Week 1 without a new contract, prompting veteran Vince Williams to warn him against repeating Le’Veon Bell’s 2018 holdout. The Steelers have a strict no-contract-talk rule once the season begins, and a holdout would only gain leverage if paired with a trade request—something unlikely as Porter gradually returns to practice and insiders say his camp is weighing the option but not pressing the team.
