Joey Porter Jr.............................. not dad

Why is it that the Steelers always seem to have a “distraction” player every year?


Because “CAM” wanted Mo-Money…!!!



Salute the nation
 
The Steelers have been giving more guaranteed money than they used to. I can see $28 million per year for 4 years, with $60 million guaranteed. I hope they don't go higher than $30 million per. I also would not be upset if they got him for 5 years at $30 million per.
Wasn't this the price no one wanted to give him at the start of the summer? Now it's a bargain because of the market.
How do you know he didn't want to see the market develop before signing a new deal? Would be foolish of him to do so
If the Steelers offered him a top 1-2 deal early in the offseason he would've signed on the spot.

I agree with this take.

Correct for me. I thought $25 million would have been a very fair offer. Now, it's closer to $30 million. No way I give him more than that. I'd rather trade him or let him play this year and then tag him next year. But you know he will try to force a trade where we get very little for him.

Why would they do that ?
 
Bruh, Omar is not earning his paycheck on this situation. I hate drama...
As long as it’s not a distraction for the other defensive players.


It seems like the core is built. I’m particularly excited to see the defensive line and ILB play this season.

Whenever Jr decides to come aboard and whatever Omar wages
 
I heard on radio the Steelers were going to elevate CB slaughter to the active roster. Hope it is not related to JPJ playing, but kinda has to

Not overpaying players that over value themselves is doing an excellent job imho

If he gets assets in return for a player that wants to walk due to an over valuation of his services that makes Omar working overtime doing an excellent job

Now if that is what’s happening is pure speculation as none of us have seen the offer(s) but reports keep coming out that they are far apart…likely clickbait to entice an anxious fan base, but we’ll find out soon enough on end of negotiations eve.
 
His stats are wrong
Pat averaged 55 catches seasons 2021-24,

Career average 52 catches, 535 yds, 4 td.

Mediocre stats
Ummm.. muth was the second TE in NFL history to have 60 or more catches his first two seasons... his third season was injury filled.. he missed 5 games and didnt finish several others... so the drop in production is legit
His 4th year he had 65 catches on just 78 targets.. that was 8th among all TEs
last year they cut his role to give snaps to Jonnu Smith
He only got 54 targets... he caught 41 passes... 27 th most no among all TEs...


For reference, the league leader had 126 catches on 169 targets... with the same targets... assuming the catch % stayed the same, Frieirmuth woulda caught 128 passes..

While most top end TEs are getting 800-over 900 snaps, he was down around 500ish his production when on the field is top 10 TE numbers

Of course it is. Joey is sitting. Back problems.😉. Im gonna say Samuels Jr is gonna be a problem for Joey. I waa super excited when they drafted him. Sometimes circumstances create issues. This is one of those times.
