But that wasn't because they didn't try. NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports that the Steelers were in talks with the Philadelphia Eagles in an attempt to bring Fletcher Cox to the Steel City.
The reported asking price was a third round choice and the Steelers weren't willing to give up that much draft value. It's unknown what the Steelers were willing to move for Cox.
We reported on Tuesday that the team was attempting to add to their defensive front with Stephon Tuitt still sidelined.
Coach Mike Tomlin has stated that Tuitt is progressing, but his return wasn't close. The team is also without back up Carlos Davis as he's been dealing with a knee injury since week 1.
