It is over. The Steelers have traded Joey Porter Jr. to the Dallas Cowboys. The deal went down around midnight as we turn the calendars to October. Another deal with Jerry Jones and it looks like the old man got the Steelers again. Who is the big loser out of this? Chris thinks the Steelers definitely are, but so is Porter, because he didn’t get his contract from Dallas. It seems like the only party that looks like a winner are the Cowboys. Donny is tired of people acting as if every move the team makes is the right move – it ain’t the 1970’s anymore.
Do fans think the Steelers won this deal with Dallas after sending Joey Porter Jr. to the Cowboys?
Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick said the Cowboys are the easy winner in the Joey Porter Jr. trade because it’s basically a no-risk move for them and they can actually recoup a 3rd round pick if Porter walks in free agency. Nick sees fault at both sides of this because the player didn’t handle this great, but the Steelers certainly fumbled the situation too. Nick believes there are a few very archaic motions the Steelers need to change going forward, like negotiating in-season. Nick pointed out a few good moves made by Omar Khan, but it’s hard to give him anything better than a mediocre grade as the team’s GM. Nick thinks the Steelers should absolutely be on upset alert tonight and why the game in Cleveland is suddenly turning into a house of horrors for them. Nick dug out a very deep stat in relation to Thursday Night Football. Is the Browns defense still pretty good without Myles Garrett? Nick thinks Max Iheanachor will struggle a little bit more in this game than what he did on Sunday.
