It's no surprise the Steelers showed an interest in the Eagles' Fletcher Cox at the trade deadline earlier this week after sending Melvin Ingram to the Chiefs for a sixth-round pick.
It's exactly what I'd been hearing. The Steelers were extremely interested in acquiring another defensive tackle, especially in the aftermath of allowing a season-high 144 rushing yards in a 23-20 overtime win over the Seahawks the week before.
But according to reports, the Steelers balked at the Eagles' asking price of a third- or even second-round draft pick. And rightfully so. Having already traded their 2022 picks in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds, the Steelers currently have picks in the first, second, third and sixth rounds, though they also have two seventh-round selections.
