The Pittsburgh Steelers got two members of their 2023 draft class signed to long-term deals this past week in outside linebacker Nick Herbig and tight end Darnell Washington. Now, defensive lineman Keeanu Benton and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. are next up.

Porter could be due for a massive payday, even more than Herbig’s four-year, $100 million deal. Porter recently revealed that he expects to be paid as one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks.

“Definitely, I feel like I was an elite guy since I’ve been in this League, and I’m happy that I’m getting the respect that I feel like...

That was the question on people’s minds after head coach Brian Schottenheimer informed everyone that Tyler Guyton will need to earn the starting left tackle position, competing with fellow third-year tackle Nate Thomas.
