More trade and signing calls
The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
- 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.
- Joel CorryTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Hit · 100Corry runs through 2026 contract-year players and forecasts how their situations resolve: Puka Nacua as a prime franchise tag candidate in Los Angeles, a second straight tag for George Pickens in Dallas, a possible pre-deadline trade of Joey Porter Jr., and Moro Ojomo getting his best contract away from Philadelphia.
- Bryan DeArdoTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Miss · 0DeArdo argues that a resolution to Joey Porter Jr.'s standoff with the Steelers is coming soon and that trading him is the only logical outcome, proposing three mock trades — all sending Porter to the Lions, with the middle scenario (Porter plus a 2027 third for Detroit's 2027 first and sixth) the one he calls a genuine win-win.
- 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.
- Bryan DeArdoTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Miss · 0DeArdo suggests that if the Steelers do move Joey Porter Jr. before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the Lions are a plausible destination given their early-season defensive struggles.
- Jacob PunturiTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Hit · 100Punturi expects the Steelers to trade cornerback Joey Porter Jr., and argues the realistic return has fallen to a second-round pick and nothing more.
