Steelers Trade Porter After 'Final Straw'

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded cornerback Joey Porter Jr. after his claim of back pain on Wednesday became the breaking point in their contract dispute. According to Gerry Dulac, the Steelers had thought Porter would eventually 'blink' but his persistence led to his departure.

Similar to Micah Parsons' situation with the Cowboys last year, Porter achieved his goal of leaving Pittsburgh through a trade. Interestingly, Porter is not listed on the Cowboys' injury report despite being ruled out for Thursday's game with the Steelers. newsindata.org
