I saw this posted on profootballtalk.com and they were saying how we over paid for joey porter who is a washed up player,and i do admit we over paid slightly,but nate clements gets $80 million,i think he will get our moneys worth,,but what im pissed about is they say joey is washed up,hes only been in the league 8 years and in that time he has 60 sacks and 10 int..pretty damn good and more to come,,and also to mention he will not have to be a superstar in this defense so more oppurtunites wil open up for him,,do any of you think hes washed up and we made a mistake?,,anyway heres the article

NEGOTIATION 101
One thing we've noticed over the past week or so is that several teams have given players a bunch of money, even though the teams who signed them weren't, by all appearances, bidding against other suitors.
Case in point -- the decision of the Dolphins to pay Joey Porter $20 million in guaranteed money.
Was there another team poised to pay Porter $19.75 million in guaranteed money? How about $19.5 million?
How about $12 million?
Frankly, we doubt that anyone else was ready to give Porter anything close to $20 million.
Ditto for the Vikings and their two free-agent investments on offense -- tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and receiver Bobby Wade. The talk in league circles is that they were the only serious contenders. So why did they fork over so much money?
Sure, some teams spend it because they have it. But, as Rod Graves aptly notes above, isn't it better to invest some (or most) of that money in guys already on the team?
Speaking of the Cardinals, the fact coach Ken Whisenhunt didn't make a play for a guy he knows well should have been a red flag to the powers-that-be in Miami. Indeed, the word on the street is that some in the Steelers organization are glad that Porter -- regarded as a locker-room lawyer -- is no longer a part of the team.
This isn't a knock on Porter. He should be thrilled with the deal that he got. If, as multiple teams believe, he is finished, he'll exit the game with one helluva retirement package.
As to the Dolphins and any other team that was bidding only against itself, it might be time to go to a seminar or something on how to best spend your owners' money.
 
Miami was bidding with the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati was offering Porter more guaranteed money than Miami did with the $20 mill. That source is lacking correct information.

Exactly, the bengals were serious in going after him as well.
 
the bengals were also serious cus they wanted him to give payback to the steelers but i guess he didn't want to be playing against pittsburgh

See, I just don't understand this. It isn't like the guy had a horrible season last year. In fact, he led the Steelers in sacks and is averaging 8 sacks a year over the past three seasons. The guy is still a huge force, and him joining an already very talented defense should just improve his stats. This guy could very well be back in the Pro Bowl following this season.
 
1) Joey Porter is "washed up" cause the Steelers didn't make the playoffs.

2)A.Thomas was a great pickup because he was on the Ravens and they made the playoffs.

Both one and two have nothing to do with the players, but when you have people that have that refuse to think with thier head you get this kind of idiotic reporting. Case and point = "Joey Porters washed up"!

3)PFT is about as credable as pile of poop!

What is PFT anyways, a bunch of internet geeks who have an opinion?? How the hell can you have 7 sacks just this past season and be washed up? Please god please, stop giving that trash of a site the time of day. Beisdes you're not going to make everyone happy there are going to be peeple that you just can't please.
 
Yall need t owait till preaseason..where joey will wear his jersey..))
 
Thats trash Joey is not washed up that is just a bunch of b/s
 
all i really care about is that joey porter is WAYYYY better than Donnie Spragan...so i dont care if we overpaid (according to pft) we upgraded the position....
 
Porter will do fine. You know that people need something to talk about in the off season, so they stir the pot
 
i wrote this idiot and he wrote me back thinking I'm actually Randy Mueller
PFT is a bunch of ******s.........
the following is my reply to this dork at PFT:
