The Steelers finally moved cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to Dallas on Wednesday after protracted talks.
Ramsey endured a comparable ordeal in 2019, when a trade to the Jaguars fell through and landed him with the Rams.
Following Thursday’s defeat to Los Angeles, Ramsey told the press he’d felt like a mentor to Porter and wanted him to become a cornerstone for Pittsburgh.
It’s truly a shame it didn’t work out, but I’m thrilled he’s getting a fresh start. I wish him every NFL success. He’s a stud, a top‑five talent. Some say top‑10, but I’m convinced Joey is a great player.
Ramsey’s reflections echo his own journey, underscoring how trades shape careers. In my view, his support shows true leadership.
He added that moves are part of the business and players must chase what’s best for them. Will Porter thrive in Dallas next season?
