## Resource

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s the idea that the Steelers could use a franchise tag on cornerback Joey Porter Jr. if contract talks between he and the team do not progress. Porter is set to enter the final season of his rookie contract, with general manager Omar Khan already having extended two of Porter’s draft-mates, the star cornerback is likely near the top of the list for a contract extension.
