Lions Predicted to Land Joey Porter Jr. for Massive Draft Pick Haul

The Detroit Lions could seek a major early-season upgrade in the secondary via a blockbuster trade for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., according to CBS Sports analyst Bryan DeArdo. DeArdo noted Porter and the Steelers failed to reach an extension, and Porter has not taken the field for Pittsburgh this season, setting up potential trade uncertainty. One scenario has Detroit sending a first-round pick next year and receiving Porter plus a sixth-rounder, with Detroit also getting a third-rounder in return. DeArdo argued Porter’s value to Detroit could outweigh the future first. The Lions have already added depth by signing safety Bishop Fitzgerald and Jalen Mills.
