Antonio brown set to meet with Steelers owner

Fresh off reports that he has not talked with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ brass since December comes this note that disgruntled receiver Antonio Brown is set to meet with owner Art Rooney II.

Brown officially requested a trade earlier this week after months of speculation that he could be on his way out of town. Meanwhile Rooney himself recently noted that it’s unlikely Brown will be with the team next season.

In no way does this mean that things can be fixed between the two sides. As Ian Rapoport noted, it’s simply a show of respect from Brown.

Said discussion could be Brown’s way of making it clear he does not want to return to the Steelers. If so, he could ask Rooney to allow him and agent Drew Rosenhaus to seek a trade with another team.
