Steelers Trade Porter After Back Pain Claim

The Steelers made the trade decision after Porter, who had fully participated in practice for two days, claimed back pain on Wednesday. This move came after the team had hoped Porter would eventually blink in the negotiation process.

Porter achieved his desired outcome of leaving Pittsburgh, similar to what former Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons accomplished last year. The Steelers had believed Porter would eventually participate, but the back pain claim solidified his commitment to forcing a trade. milkshake.it.com
