This is not shocking news as Porter is known for his pre game antics, having been shot, and allegedly being apart of an altercation with former Bengals offensive tackle Levi Jones.
The biggest concern with the Cardinals' offseason has been the loss of leadership. Kurt Warner and Karlos Dansby were the leaders of the offensive and defensive huddles. Anquan Boldin was known as a locker room leader, inspite of his contractual circumstances.
All of them have departed in an offseason that left them with more questions than answers. Early Doucet is a good young receiver, but can he replace Boldin's tenacity and fire? Is Leinart the same guy who beer bongs with college chicks, or is he ready to take over this team? Can Derek Anderson take over if Leinart can't?
Adding a known volatile character to a team searching for a new identity can be - at the least - a huge distraction. At the most, it can divide a locker room.
Porter can still play. The Steelers and Dolphins didn't want him for a reason. I just hope the Cardinals have a behavioral clause in their contract with Porter.
