Report: Steelers finalizing trade for Cardinals OT Levi Brown
The Baltimore Ravens acquired offensive tackle Eugene Monroe from the Jacksonville Jaguars late Tuesday night. It looks like the Ravens' AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are about to counter with a trade for an offensive tackle of their own.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora says the Steelers are "hammering out" a deal for Arizona Cardinals tackle Levi Brown.
Ravens aren't the only team in AFC North moving for tackle help - Steelers and Cards are hammering out a trade sending Levi Brown to PITT

Pro Football Talk says the deal is already done. Regardless of whether pen has hit paper, it looks like a deal is inevitable.
Brown signed a five-year, $30-million contract with the Cardinals in 2012, but his play hasn't come close to living up to that kind of money.
The tackles currently on the Steelers' roster have disappointed this season. The team has rotated Kelvin Beachum in for Mike Adams and Marcus Gilbert at times.
No word on what the Steelers are sending to the Cardinals in exchange for Brown.
