Fittipaldo hält einen Trainingsstreik von Joey Porter Jr. im Trainingslager für möglich

Ray Fittipaldo von der Pittsburgh Post-Gazette geht davon aus, dass Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. zu Beginn des Trainingslagers einen sogenannten „Hold-in“ abhalten könnte. Dieser Schritt würde es dem Spieler ermöglichen, das Verletzungsrisiko zu vermeiden, während er auf einen neuen Vertrag wartet. Porter geht bei den Pittsburgh Steelers in das letzte Jahr seines Rookie-Vertrags.

Fittipaldo äußerte sich dazu im Podcast North Shore Drive. Er bezeichnete Porter aufgrund der zu erwartenden Vertragshöhe als perfekten Kandidaten für einen solchen Trainingsstreik. Diese Vorgehensweise würde laut Fittipaldo sowohl den Spieler als auch das Team während der Verhandlungen vor möglichen Verletzungen schützen.
