Cowboys acquire Joey Porter Jr. as trade deadline approaches

The Dallas Cowboys secured cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline set for Nov. 10. The Cowboys sent a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick in exchange for Porter Jr. Following a disappointing 1-2 start to the season, the Cowboys' decision to bolster their defense has paid off. In three games with Dallas, Porter Jr. leads the NFL in completion percentage allowed at 18.2% and has allowed only 10 passing yards. His performances have demonstrated significant impact on the Cowboys' defensive schemes and strategies.
