I would just be speculating at this point, but I have to think that his medical was a determining factor in today’s outcome. Carrington was placed on IR last September after suffering a quadriceps tendon tear. Reports have idicated recently that he’s not yet %100.

While he was here:

@LennyCiccarone9 He’s at the practice facility going through the process. He missed a bunch of games w/ injury in 2013. Could be an issue

Carrington is said to be drawing interest from other teams, so maybe he’s fine from a health standpoint, and the Steelers just made him an offer that wasn’t up to his expectations. I’m sure we’ll hear more in the near future, and in the meantime, the Steelers will likely be making some calls to the agents of other defensive linemen.
