Steelers Facing Deadline for New Deal with Cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly running out of time to secure a new contract extension for top cornerback Joey Porter Jr. While Porter has posted promising analytical numbers early in his career, his résumé is currently balanced by a reputation for penalties and a lack of forced turnovers. As the team enters the final stages of the preseason, the negotiations for the young defensive standout remain a key storyline for the Steelers' front office and coaching staff.
