The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will have a lot of similarities going into the 2026 season. Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers, who led the Packers to their 2010 Super Bowl title, will be leading the way for Pittsburgh. Green Bay, meanwhile, will be trying to improve their roster beyond a fringe seven seed. As it turns out, these two teams could be involved in a rather shocking trade.

Additionally, Porter, who is entering the final season of his rookie contract, is seeking an extension with the Steelers. Cornerbacks are in high demand, with Devon Witherspoon of the Seattle Seahawks and Christian Gonzalez of the New England Patriots resetting the market with their massive contracts. It has been very slow going since training camp began in regards to negotiations between the team and Porter for a new contract. In an interview with Steelers assistant general manager Andy Weidl on Wednesday, he declined to provide specifics about the situation. “With regard to his contract situation, I’m going to defer to Omar [Khan],” Weidl said. “He handles it. He’s the point guy on the contract extensions things along those lines.” During the Pat McAfee Show, Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly refuted Porter’s possibility of being traded. “Did some snooping around and the Steelers haven’t gotten a single inquiry about trading Joey Porter Jr. and haven’t made any calls either, per multiple league sources,” Kaboly wrote on X. “The Steelers have zero interest in trading Porter unless there is a crazy offer (2 first rounders or something like that). As for getting a deal done by Sept 13?”
