- Tom PelisseroTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Hit · 100Pelissero laid out the Giants' quarterback situation with Jameis Winston starting, said Jayden Daniels likely won't be back when Washington plays the Giants and that Caleb Williams is unlikely to play Monday night, and floated Joey Porter Jr. landing in Dallas and Kirk Cousins being traded in-season.

- Christian BooherTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Miss · 0Booher argues the Lions' struggling secondary needs a cornerback addition and names four trade targets Detroit could acquire: Joey Porter Jr., Kristian Fulton, Tyson Campbell and Mike Jackson.
