A Raiders employee confirmed the team contacted the Pittsburgh Steelers about suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger but didn't make an offer.
The employee added the Raiders are unwilling to trade Thursday's No. 8 overall pick for Roethlisberger and that the Steelers aren't interested in throwing in the No. 18 pick to sweeten the deal.
