What happened: Yahoo Sports put Pittsburgh's asking price at first-round value entering Week 4 for Joey Porter Jr.. The disclosure came from a former Steelers defensive tackle.

Why it matters: Porter was the 32nd overall pick in 2023 out of Penn State on a cost-controlled deal at cornerback. Moving him now would force Pittsburgh to reset its secondary weeks into the season.

By the numbers: Joey Porter Jr., 2025 season (14 games): 52 tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception.

What to watch: Pittsburgh's stance gets tested as talks continue toward the Nov. 10 4 p.m. ET deadline.
