The Steelers are not interested in signing Taylor because when he visited them as a free agent Wednesday, they determined he wouldn't be able to play anytime soon due to a bad knee that requires surgery, an unnamed source recently told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The Browns reached an injury settlement with Taylor and terminated his contract Tuesday. The move was a surprise partly because the franchise had to pay Taylor his $5.477 million base salary for the coming season. The Browns picked up the fifth-year option on Taylor's rookie contract in May 2014, and the money became guaranteed when he remained on the roster at the start of the league year this past March.
