The Pittsburgh Steelers have seemingly been quietly pursuing veteran pass rusher help throughout the offseason. They were previously connected to Ryan Kerrigan, for example, and they obviously just recently landed Melvin Ingram on a one-year, $4 million deal. But they reportedly had another target in mind, according to Jason La Canfora.
The CBS Sports reporter actually Tweeted on Sunday, on the eve of Ingram’s visit with the Steelers, that Pittsburgh “had interest in Justin Houston”, before adding that “that does not appear to be a match”. How much genuine interest they may have had is not clear.
Steelers remain on the hunt for pass rush help.
