Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. wants a long-term extension. He may or may not get one.
Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette questioned whether the team and Porter will come to an agreement.
"They haven’t soured on the idea, but I don't think they're prepared to pay him the amount some people think he is worth," Dulac wrote.
Porter did limited work in the offseason program, and he could continue with a hold-in during training camp.
Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie leads all players at his position with an annual salary of $31 million. Indianapolis' Sauce Gardner and Houston's Derek Stingley Jr. are at $30 million a season.
Seattle's Devon Witherspoon and New England's Christian Gonzalez soon could sign deals with similar annual averages.
Porter, who turns 26 later this week, has never earned Pro Bowl or All-Pro honors. He has three interceptions and 31 pass breakups in 47 career games.
