Steelers Sit Down with Just Released Former Browns DT Phil Taylor

Cleveland Browns v Buffalo Bills 10-3-2013

The Steelers have sat down with recently released former first-round pick DT Phil Taylor, who was released on Tuesday by the Cleveland Browns. Pro Football Talk has the story:

On Tuesday, the Browns gave defensive tackle Phil Taylor $5.477 million to not play for the Browns. The Steelers may now be paying Taylor even more to not play for the Browns.

Per a league source, Taylor visited the Steelers on Wednesday.

It was only a visit, but it could lead to something more, given that the Steelers could use any help they can get on defense.

A first-round pick in 2011, Taylor asked to be released by the Browns after Danny Shelton emerged as a starter. The Browns made no request that Taylor reduce the money he’s owed or agree to provide any offset in exchange for his freedom.

Matt Loede has been in the sports media for over 16 years, with experience covering the MLB, NBA, and NFL.

Born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, Matt studies and talks football inside and out, and is anxious to share his thoughts and comments with readers on a daily basis.
