[PosseLover]

ESPNEWS Breaking news...Steelers cut LB Joey Porter

[DeMarco Murray 29]

Hes coming to Dallas. Where he shouldve been his whole career. :cool:

[Buford]

Hes coming to Dallas. Where he shouldve been his whole career. :cool:

Then he would have never won a single playoff game.

[SkinzFan007]

oh snap big news. wow. i didnt think this would happen. porter is an absolute beast. id hate to see him in dallas.

[MyTeamCanBuyYours]

i just saw that too...WOW..i guess with the transition from 3-4 to 4-3 porter was the odd man out.. what does everyone think about getting him..


i dont think we should..we need a stout LB in the middle not an outside one

[sith lord]

Him or Donnie Edwards would be nice.

[cpneedrm]

Hes coming to Dallas. Where he shouldve been his whole career. :cool:

Don't count on it Redskins 1 is on the runway as we speak!!!!!!!
:dallasuck :dallasuck :eaglesuck :gaintsuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck

[elkabong82]

This should be in the around the nfl forum. Just to let you know. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just a friendly reminder.

[SkinzFan007]

why i think we are wondering what people think about bringing him to dc?

[Tastes Like Chicken]

Then he would have never won a single playoff game.

:rotflmao: :dallasuck

[BigRay]

Then he would have never won a single playoff game.


:applause: :applause: :laugh:

[TakeTheFG]

porter is younger and much more explosive for this defense than london fletcher

[BigRay]

Hes coming to Dallas. Where he shouldve been his whole career. :cool:



I wouldn't count on it.. I do not believe he will be coming to your Cowboys. I really think he will stay in the AFC perhaps the AFC North. To face his old team twice a year. Why would he come to a team that is only one year removed from being a superbowl champ. To a team that can't win a playoff game.

[TakeTheFG]

hmm watch this team enter for the sweeptakes for porter.. The New England Patriots. Him and Colvin OLBs would be lethal

[jrockster21]

Official JRock prediction: he will go to the Ravens to replace Adalius Thomas.

[SkinsOrlando]

Jrock, I tend to agree with your prediction.

[Gary Clark Fan]

Just heard on 980...........any interst in him? i think he is an upgrade over London Fletcher

[PortisSkins26]

and iam not talkin the WR the linebacker/ pass rusher

He would be huge upgrade provide some snarl up front with sean taylor providing it from the backside

He needs to get on redskins one as we speak

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

and iam not talkin the WR the linebacker/ pass rusher

He would be huge upgrade provide some snarl up front with sean taylor providing it from the backside

He needs to get on redskins one as we speak

Because we need a 3-4 linebacker who is aging in dog years...why exactly?

Word of advice. No team gets rich on the Steelers or Patriots cast-offs. Once those two teams decide you are done...you are pretty much done.

[PortisSkins26]

i would hes a huge hitter and plays with passion something our d lacked. And hes 29 not in his dog years according to a previous poster

[skinsfan07]

Official JRock prediction: he will go to the Ravens to replace Adalius Thomas.

Yup. Most likely.

[Oldskool]

Official JRock prediction: he will go to the Ravens to replace Adalius Thomas.

Now wouldn't that just piss off Steeler fan :laugh:

He runs his mouth enough to be a Raven.

[jjcskins]

He's a huge character guy too ;)

[skinsfan07]

yes. isn't he young too?

Some 1 post stats on him.

[Joe Gibbs II]

yea lets get urlacher too...


christ almighty

[PortisSkins26]

he just wanted to get paid after leading them to the superbowl and just playing with such emotion. Hes a beast and we need to get this dude

[Hitman#21]

Wow imagine we sign J. Porter, then make a deal with the jets for vilma our LB next yr will be Porter vilma wahsington, this is also assuming rocky goes in the trade to NY.

[willmb5]

no...i think porter is one of the most overrated linebackers in the game because he talks his own game up so much. also, he's getting a little up there in years, and we would have to give up too much to acquire him.


I say we go after fletcher, as it makes the most sense

[MyTeamCanBuyYours]

ok since you want him so bad tell me where you would like him to play.. how would your LB situation look

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Just heard on 980...........any interst in him? i think he is an upgrade over London Fletcher

You do know what position he plays, right?

[elkabong82]

Porter is about 30, and has been in a 3-4 system his whole career. He's going to command top dollar. I'd rather get Fletcher and draft his eventual replacement in '08.

[Skin'emAlive]

Wow imagine we sign J. Porter, then make a deal with the jets for vilma our LB next yr will be Porter vilma wahsington, this is also assuming rocky goes in the trade to NY.

Umm... i think you can count on that not happening. Why would we trade Rocky already?

[Chump Bailey]

Not particularly...


I just heard recently that the reason the Steeler's are looking to release him is because of lack of production. Plus he seems like a chronic *******

[Fifty Gut]

i just saw that too...WOW..i guess with the transition from 3-4 to 4-3 porter was the odd man out.. what does everyone think about getting him..

Pittsburgh doesn't value the LB position much and has a history of letting their star LBs walk when they reach their 30s. We don't need an OLB...

[Skin Deep]

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO BE THE EFFING THREAD-STARTER???

Is your ego that small???? God people, I have to sift through 50 Porter threads to read anything or post something to the active thread.

I hate people like you!

[STaylor#21]

he just wanted to get paid after leading them to the superbowl and just playing with such emotion. Hes a beast and we need to get this dude

Alright here is the truth on Peezy, as I like to call him. I went to school at the University of Pittsburgh and had to hear about this guy the whole time, not to mention my best friend is a huge Steelers fan. He was a great pass rusher the year they won the Super Bowl. However this past year he was a total bust. Besides his pick against the Dolphins in the first game of the season he was nowhere to be seen. Week in and week out he was taking on ROOKIE left tackles who were simply dominating him.

My roommate and many other Steelers fans, from Stillers.com, wanted him gone immediately and as soon as Mike Tomlin came in he realized that Peezy is on the decline. This came as no shock to anyone that actually follows the Steelers, yet it seems like everyone else around the league wants this guy on their team.

Just say NO!

[Cali Boi]

I have known Joey all my life, he's a real good dude. I would love for him to play for my favorite team. Joey has at least 3 more years and another 2-3 as a rotational lb. I think it would be a good pick up for the right price.

[26fan4life]

it's a shame he doesn't play DE

[Fifty Gut]

he needs to sign with Cincy

give that defense some attitude, plus get to play the Steelers twice a year

[Genghis Khan]

he needs to sign with Cincy

hes not angry with the steelers.

edit: Hes hated among the cincy players as well as the browns. Hes a little outspoken.

PORTER, AGENT STUNNED BY RELEASE


Though there had been talk that the Steelers might cut linebacker Joey Porter, word is that Porter and his agent were shocked by the move.


Apparently, Porter had still be angling for a raise, and had fully expected to get one.


In our view, this means that Porter will be even more pissed off at the Steelers -- and more likely to try to land within the AFC North.


Meanwhile, word is that the Bengals have been doing some research on Porter with an eye toward trying to sign him.

^ PFT

personally, I just like the storyline and would like to Cincy really upgade that defense

[HEavyJumbo85]

Well Adam Schefter said earlier today that Porter to Cincy would be a perfect fit. Although I was a little caught off guard because of his reasoning when he stated that

"This would be a perfect fit, could you imagine Joey Porter reunited with his former Coach Marvin Lewis?"

I'm still trying to figure out how Marvin Lewis coached Joey Porter in Pittsburgh when Marvin Left for Baltimore 3 years before Joey was drafted??? Seems a little on the impossible side.

But anyway, cincy maybe, but don't discount the Browns.

[HEavyJumbo85]

EDIT=Sorry guys DUPLICATE, I blame the schools and this terrible internet connection.

[Hiro]

Now wouldn't that just piss off Steeler fan :laugh:

He runs his mouth enough to be a Raven.

Oh dear god, can you imagine him next to Ray Lewis?

No QB is going to be able to think with those two running their mouths at the line of scrimmage.

[BigRay]

hes not angry with the steelers.

edit: Hes hated among the cincy players as well as the browns. Hes a little outspoken.


But he totally hates the Ravens so I do not see him going to Baltimore either. I think he will end up in Cincy because they need help at linebacker plus he gives them a toughest they do not have. The Bengals is a soft team but you add him that will give them something that is missing.

[the burgundy and gold]

Official JRock prediction: he will go to the Ravens to replace Adalius Thomas.

he and ray Lewis would be sick together... not to mention Ed Reed in that secondary too.

[Santana_Fan]

Now wouldn't that just piss off Steeler fan :laugh:

Ray Lewis and Porter are equally passionate about the game. They'd make a good pair of lb's.

[ratbert_rizzo]

I'm glad we didn't sign Joey Porter, that would have been Archuleta like epic fail

[pjfootballer]

I have Flatulence that smells like Joey Porter.

[PortisSkins26]

I actually though we should sign this cornbread muffin vagabond at the time but he did help the Dolphins win 1 game so it was worthwhile.
