## Resource

Doug Whaley’s raising eyebrows over Joey Porter Jr.’s contract talks, citing his low interception total as a major hurdle—just three picks in his career, one per season. Whaley argues elite corners must generate turnovers, a trait Porter hasn’t shown since college, despite strong stats like zero TDs allowed. Slay backs Porter’s potential, calling him a future top-10 corner, while Ike Taylor pushes back against public criticism of teammates. Porter himself insists he deserves top-tier pay, backed by his defensive dominance, including a career-low penalty rate and elite pass defense.
