Porter isn't worth 30 per year. 25 plus incentives. That's all I would offer.

Disagree.....

You are worth what the market is willing to pay the position. If Ward is getting 32 a year, Porter isn't going to accept 25 nor should he. I thought 28 to 29 would be the magic number but now I think he's gonna want that Shiney 30 mil mark. When are Steelers fans going to accept that a shut down corner (which he is) is worth .ore than 25 a year. Hes one of the top press man cover corners in the league and the stats say he is. The analytics say he is elite and I bet you a gazillion his agent will point this out and 3 gazillion a team in the NFL agrees with his agent if it isn't the Steelers

I know there's some debate as to where Porter is ranked among CBs...doesn't matter. He's very good and he's one of the top players on the team. I agree that some fans and even analysts are undervaluing him even as a top 10-12 corner thinking he'll take a deal worth $23-25 million. If Denzel Ward just became the highest paid CB, you can fully expect Witherspoon and Gonzalez to blow that away within the next few weeks or next offseason. While I like your numbers better, soon enough $30 million will be no higher than 5th. Soon enough, guys like Heyward and Ramsey, even Watt, will be off the payroll. Get your young talent signed long-term. That's how to build a winner.
