The much anticipated meeting between the Steelers and DE Alex Carrington left many fans feeling disappointed. I suspected that medical was likely the main reason behind Carrington leaving without a contract. According to Ian Rapoport, he passed his medical exam today.

DL Alex Carrington had good visit with #Steelers today, taking and passing a physical. Both sides will continue to talk, per source.

Rapoport also says that the visit went well, and that both parties will continue to talk. The former Bills defensive end is rumored to be in demand, and has already passed on offers from his former team. Carrington wanting to explore the free agent market further makes sense. We’ll have to wait and see if the rumored interest in him proves to be true.
