Cowboys Secure Joey Porter Jr. After Steelers Lower Trade Price

The Dallas Cowboys acquired cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a trade finalized late Wednesday, October 2, 2026. Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones confirmed that the Steelers initially demanded a higher price, which the Cowboys deemed too steep, but eventually accepted a deal involving a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick. Jones emphasized that the trade structure protects Dallas if Porter leaves in free agency, as the 2028 second-round pick is offset by a compensatory pick Dallas expects to receive. Porter, 26, has not received a new contract from Dallas upon arrival, though the Cowboys have shown willingness to pay core players. The move follows a recent loss in Brazil and aims to bolster the secondary.

Steelers Trade Joey Porter Jr. After Back Pain Claim Ends Contract Standoff
