The Dallas Cowboys have allowed 82 points in their first three games, going 1-2.
Despite having tried to fortify their defense, it has been leaky, partially due to injuries in the secondary.
That is why late Wednesday, Dallas swung a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for DB Joey Porter Jr.
Cowboys trading for Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. in exchange for a 6th-round pick in 2027, and a 2nd-round pick in 2028.

Porter has been at odds with Pittsburgh over his contract situation and has also been sidelined with a back injury.
The Steelers get a a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-rounder in return for Porter.
The Cowboy secondary has been injury prone at cornerback; Cobie Durant (hamstring) and Shavon
Revel (knee/ankle) are missing time.
Porter has been inactive for the first three games with the Steelers and had been ruled out of Thursday's game with Cleveland despite being a full participant in practice this week.
