Stealers don't want to sign Fitzpatrick....

They were talking about this on NFL radio, and the consensus was that teams just do not value the safety position that highly when it comes to large amounts of money. To be paid like Fitzpatrick and Bates want to be paid, they have to be great at coverage, be a ball hawk, willing and able to tackle running backs, etc., and do it on a consistent basis. Can't be good at just on area.
