# Shannon Sharpe: 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. **Claimed:** Sep 26, 2026 **Pundit:** Shannon Sharpe — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/shannon-sharpe **Outlet:** Nightcap (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/nightcap-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/28/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/6ced0da2-f257-4234-bf7c-b07601488685/8b05cb9a-1af2-4170-9cb7-b4d0013fad35/audio.mp3?in_playlist=99f1543b-ae3c-4f45-90f2-b076014995d9 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. > So I think the Steelers will probably try to slot him somewhere between 25 and 30, and he's looking to go to 34. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Marvin Harrison Jr. to move — “move him, let him go somewhere to get a fresh start”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Marvin Harrison Jr. - Verdict: not settled yet - **Joey Porter Jr. to play out his deal with no new contract** - Kind: Contract Calls · About: Joey Porter Jr., Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Joey Porter Jr. to move to Pittsburgh Steelers** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Joey Porter Jr., Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Marvin Harrison Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/marvin-harrison-jr - Joey Porter Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/joey-porter-jr - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/steelers ## What others said about the same people - Bryan DeArdo on Joey Porter Jr.: The piece predicts Joey Porter Jr. most likely stays with the Steelers through 2026, while listing possible trade destinations if they were moved. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a6edcb85-bcff-47cb-ba7d-e09dc7549fe1 (scored 0) - Bryan DeArdo on Pittsburgh Steelers: DeArdo picks the Steelers to beat the Browns at home in Week 8, citing Pittsburgh's quarterback edge and a running game that should exploit Cleveland's weak run defense. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ea81598d-c498-4a5f-a479-a76cec7979e6 (scored 59.52) - Greg Jennings on Pittsburgh Steelers: Jennings backed the Vikings to upset the Lions in Detroit, put chips on the Steelers over the Browns, and took the Chiefs to win in Denver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f2a33e52-9cab-46bf-a1bf-a5a8e87a5244 (scored 100) - Chris Simms on Pittsburgh Steelers: Simms gave straight-up winners with predicted final scores for every Week 8 game, including upset calls on the Ravens in Buffalo, the Broncos over the Chiefs, the Jets over the Raiders and the Seahawks over the Bears, and they expected Josh Downs to play for the Colts despite their trade request. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/257149d0-81ab-4feb-a725-ef5bebba04b0 (scored 73.81) - Connor Rogers on Pittsburgh Steelers: Rogers picked straight-up winners across the Week 8 slate, siding with the Bills over the Ravens, the Lions, Steelers, Jaguars, Bengals, Falcons, Raiders, Broncos, Rams, Patriots, Commanders and the Bears in Seattle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/14b3a81b-ba4d-4270-b122-8cfe7fc959b0 (scored 100) - James Harrison on Pittsburgh Steelers: Harrison picked the Steelers to beat the Browns in their Sunday meeting, saying Pittsburgh would even the season series at 1-1 after losing the first matchup. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0cd70cea-f5fe-44d1-a99f-bd527f74e175 (scored 100) ## More trade and signing calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed any chance of them signing a new contract with Los Angeles after the season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60272861-4ad0-4749-b36a-dcdf09b9213f (scored 0) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d0fd408a-7dcd-4e50-ac62-6b4510a8a800 (scored 100) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Lazarczyk expects the Raiders to be sellers before the trade deadline, suggesting Kirk Cousins could be dealt back to the Vikings and that benched interior lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson is a prime candidate to be traded somewhere. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fda03952-2ea6-4919-8114-0ebb127478d1 (scored 100) - Patricia Traina on J.J.
