Well, they did. Remember, even before Robert dies, there’s a de-facto Stark/Tully vs. Lannister alliance, and Renly (and by extension the Tyrells) tries to do a deal with Eddard.
At the outset of the War of the Five Kings, why were none of the major players trying to reach out to or ally with the Starks or the Tully’s? Wouldn’t the Tyrell’s, Renly or even the Martell’s have been interested in at least exploring an alliance with a mutual enemy of the Lannisters? The inaction has always puzzled me.
