The Story The Dolphins didn't want to wait for Joey Porter to make a five- to six-team tour of prospective new teams. Joey Porter Linebacker Pittsburgh Steelers Profile 2006 SEASON STATISTICS Tot Ast Solo FF Sack Int 55 40 15 0 7 2 While Porter, the former Steelers outside linebacker, was spending Monday trying to map out his trips to selected NFL cities, the Dolphins came in with an offer he couldn't refuse. Porter agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract that includes $20 million in guarantees. The Steelers released him a week ago because they didn't have plans to sign him after his contract ran out in 2007. With several key starters entering the final year of their contract, the Steelers had to be selective and Porter became a salary cap casualty. The minute he became a free agent, his phone was ringing. Porter had enough offers to visit most of the teams that run a 3-4 defense and few, including Cincinnati, that run a 4-3. He chose to play for Dom Capers' 3-4 unit in Miami. Porter wanted to take the weekend to settle himself and find a new spot. On Monday, he started to put together a plan of trips. Then the Dolphins entered the picture and worked out a contract. Knowing he was one of the top defensive players available, Porter accepted a deal from the Dolphins before making other visits.

I have to say, I certainly won't miss seeing his ugly mug twice a year!
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

Although we do play the Dolphins at home this year, so we'll get to see him again. Hopefully Fraley, Steinbach or Thomas (hopefully) puts him on his butt like Winslow did.

Thank-you I feel priviledged!
I'm glad he's out of the division! I'm also glad he's not a Brown. I dislike Porter more than any player in the NFL today. Even with his skill-set (which is on the decline) I wouldn't want him wearing the colors.

Thats exactly why I'm glad our name isn't connected to the signing. He might have been worth it 3 or 4 years ago but he's not really worth that contract anymore.

Miami? He couldn't keep from being shot in Denver.
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

Aye, aye! I am SOOOOO glad he is out of the AFC North. I was afraid he was going to the Bungles or the Rats, which would be perfect fits for his ugly mug. Anyway, hooray Miami.
