Steelers Offer Not Close to Porter Jr. Deal

Porter Jr. remains the last big-name cornerback without a long-term deal, as Christian Gonzalez recently signed a four-year, $135 million contract with the Patriots. The Steelers do not negotiate contract extensions once the season begins, adding urgency to talks. ipl-cricket.in

Porter, who returned from the active/physically unable to perform list last week, has been noncommittal about playing Week 1 without a contract extension. The Steelers will likely need to top both Gonzalez's $135 million deal and Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon's $132 million extension to secure Porter long-term.
