PITTSBURGH -- Changes on the Steelers staff have begun.
The team announced it is moving on from outside linebackers coach Joey Porter, who held the role since 2014.
"I have informed outside linebackers coach Joey Porter that we will not renew his contract," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement. "These are difficult decisions when it comes to someone like Joey who has meant a lot to this organization as both a player and coach. I want to thank Joey for his coaching efforts over the past five years on our defensive staff. We wish him the best in his future coaching career."
Porter played for the Steelers from 1999 to 2006, recording at least nine sacks in four different seasons.
