A former AFC North defensive tackle may be taking his talents to his former team's archrival.Phil Taylor was released by the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday alongside a $5.477 million payday, a number that could rise should anything come from what a league source reported was a visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday.
Nothing else was confirmed aside from the visit and no other word has come forth as of yet, but with the recent condition of the Steelers' defense, an addition of this caliber could help.
A first-round selection four years ago, Taylor requested the Browns release him after the emergence of defensive tackle Danny Shelton, the team's first-round pick out of Washington.
Cleveland reportedly made no request that Taylor request a smaller amount of money to provide any offset in exchange for his release.
