The Dallas Cowboys have acquired cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the first notable trades of the NFL season as teams look to strengthen their rosters before the Nov. 10 deadline.
Although the deadline is still more than a month away, clubs have already begun swapping players, a pattern that has become increasingly common as front offices try to get ahead of the market rather than waiting until the final days before the cutoff.
Deadline approaches
The Porter trade adds to a growing list of in-season deals being tracked across the league. Teams in playoff contention are expected to continue pursuing upgrades at key positions, while clubs further from contention may look to deal veterans for future draft assets.
Further details on additional trades, including compensation and roster moves tied to this transaction, continue to be tracked as the trade season develops.
