A day after he was surprisingly released by the Cleveland Browns, defensive tackle Phil Taylor met with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday.

The Sports Xchange confirmed Taylor’s visit to Pittsburgh. The Steelers are among eight teams interested in the 2011 first-round pick, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported.

Taylor, 27, asked to be released by the Browns after first-round rookie Danny Shelton emerged as the starter at his position.

The Browns will owe Taylor $5.48 million because they picked up his fifth-year option last year and he was on the roster when the salary became fully guaranteed in March.

He has missed 20 games in his four-year career. He had two knee surgeries last season and played in just five games.

The rehab limited Taylor in the spring and in preseason camp, but he saw his first action in 10 months on Saturday night in a preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
