While everyone assumed Porter Jr. would be the top offseason priority, talks remain stalled, partly due to a shifting cornerback market where Devon Witherspoon got a big deal but Christian Gonzalez still waits. That gives Porter Jr. leverage, while the Steelers hold strong options—including the franchise tag for next year. Though head coach Mike Tomlin mentioned an “impasse,” with the season looming, both sides seem poised to reach a deal before Week One hits.
