Cowboys trade for Joey Porter Jr. to bolster defense

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers, continuing their defensive overhaul. Porter, 26, was previously seeking a contract extension with the Steelers, who opted to trade him rather than extend his deal. The trade sees Dallas send a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 conditional sixth-round pick to Pittsburgh. Porter joins a reshaped Cowboys secondary that has struggled this season, ranking among the league's worst defenses. He becomes part of a growing list of defensive acquisitions by the Cowboys since trading Micah Parsons to the Packers.
