## Resource

Steelers and star CB Joey Porter Jr. remain deadlocked in contract talks as training camp looms, with the core dispute likely over guaranteed money and annual pay. Former Steelers legend James Harrison weighed in, urging Porter Jr. to hold out for at least $30M/year — arguing that signing less now could cost him big if he breaks out with Pro Bowl honors. Harrison insists the Steelers should pay him now, betting on his future greatness. The Steelers’ dilemma: are they paying for the proven player or the rising star? If they believe Porter Jr. is still climbing, $30M/year fits his potential — and could position him among the NFL’s elite corners.
