Should Giants trade for Joey Porter Jr. with newfound cap space?

Should Giants trade for Jory Porter jr. With newfound cap space. That's the headline to our New York Post Sports NFL reporter Ryan Dunleavy's recent article as the Giants get ready to prepare for the Rams. So let's break it all down Must be a new day Ryan. We're talking trades Trades going into week two, but it seems like a good thing when it comes to talking about Jory Porter jr There's a lot of speculation out in the football world that the Giants could use their additional 5.8 mil and cap savings to trade for JPJ you called around to your sources So from what you're hearing Doesn't trade for Porter makes sense. And again, we're only what two weeks into the season. I Would say not now it makes sense, but it's on the radar as something that like He is disgruntled with the Steelers They don't seem like they want to pay him the top dollar that he wants We've seen how these things go. He could be a Steeler for life tomorrow, right? Christian Gonzalez wasn't playing for the Patriots to do two days before the opener He became the highest paid cornerback in the NFL so things these things turn on a dime But Joey Porter isn't playing right now for the Steelers. They're locked in a contract negotiation the Giants Are Happy with their corners, but you know, we know how it goes. It was second half of that game They had both starters on the bench getting checked for injury and a Debo was in and hood was in What really sparked the idea in my head Brandon was I had heard over the years that it was splitting hairs Between Deontay Banks and Joey Porter jr. In the 2003 draft the Giants obviously went with banks on a slight trade up But there was a lot of interest in Porter. They had very similar grades in the building talent-wise on Porter and banks They ended up taking banks the last two years they looked foolish because banks wasn't very good and Porter was and Now Porter's not playing and wants a huge contract and banks to save in his career So it's funny how these things go in circle and you know, maybe in a couple weeks, they'll be teammates Well, if I'm gonna quote former Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome, he says you can never have too many corners So, you know got to throw that Baltimore angle in there. But in your opinion, what would a potential trade package even look like? It depends on the contract right these things always depend on the contract. So like they he's not side So remember the Giants got Brian Burns for a second round pick because they had to give him a hundred and forty two million dollars or whatever, so obviously Brian Burns is worth the first round pick the When you traded Dexter Lawrence you got a first round pick back because he was already under contract So they only gave him a basically a one-year extension. So You would have to sign Joey Porter to a contract. So you're gonna give up less You're gonna give up less in your package. You're not giving up a first round pick and quite frankly I don't know if anybody around the league is gonna Is gonna give Joey Porter the kind of money he wants it Pittsburgh's not willing to do that Talk to Richard Sherman the great corner and NFL prime prime video analyst about it And he said like if Pittsburgh wouldn't do it, why would anybody else do it? They know him the best so that money might have to come down We'll see how it is But I'll say this Brandon have in John Harbaugh's nine months Have we met anybody in the Steelers Ravens rivalry that John Harbaugh didn't love? I mean, he's brought his own Ravens He's brought Calvin Austin. He's brought Najee Harris He just sat down for an hour with Mike Tomlin You don't think Joey Porter jr.'s name came up there is what do you think of him? What do you think of him? I see he's available. So like, you know, I don't know I'm stranger things have happened and John Harbaugh trying to bring a Steeler to the Giants Does he start right away? Like how did what is your secondary look like if you bring in a Joey Porter jr. Who are your starters? Who are your rotation guys? Yeah, I mean he hasn't even practiced right because he's got a back injury So you you got us you got to see kind, you know What a team that gets me even the Steelers whenever he comes back whenever he gets healthy Has to have to see what kind of shape he's in in an ideal fantasy football Madden world Yeah, he would he would jump right in what I think is interesting Brandon is in my research The Giants weren't sure back then in 2023 how he would play in man That's kind of why they went banks with over Porter is because that coaching staff Thought banks was the better matchup piece banks was the better press man cover Now Porter's had a really good three-year career has that changed evaluations of them? I don't know the answer to that but that coaching stuff didn't love him for man Denard Wilson plays a lot of press coverage and then it drops off into zone coverage So, I don't know enough to know if he if Joey Porter jr. Fits that but yeah sure on talent Why is he probably the Giants number one corner? All right It's definitely something to keep an eye out on throughout the course of the season Ryan Dunleavy appreciate you having all this my man Thanks, Brandon
