There has been no deal offered to Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards but signing them is an ongoing discussion within WWE. People within the company are pushing for them to be signed or at least be given a more in-depth look in NXT.
Triple H is against signing them because he and others feel that WWE has signed enough indy style guys. The feeling is that they have met their quota when it comes to that kind of wrestler so they need to start looking for more larger than life characters so WWE doesn’t end up with such a one-dimensional roster.

This is 100% plausible conjecture. There’s no story here – just assumption stated as news.
William B. West says
The dirt writers are mostly WWE and ROH marks, I’m guessing since the reports a few weeks ago had two top ROH guys getting a WWE tryout, and nothing came of it, the next logical thing in the mind of the dirt writers is, well it’s not because they weren’t good enough, there’s got to be a embargo on Indy talent.
