Shannon Sharpe#42 of 87 NFL pundits · Sep 26, 2026
Sharpe said the Steelers know Joey Porter Jr. has earned a raise but will try to slot their new deal around $25-30 million a year rather than the $34 million they want, and that the club is unlikely to get a deal done once the season has started. They also argued Arizona should move Marvin Harrison Jr. so they can get a fresh start elsewhere.

How each call scored
3 checkable claims — 2 trade and signing calls and 1 contract call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
