BREAKING: Steelers Will Attempt To Trade Antonio Brown After His Meeting With Art Rooney II (TWEET)

On Tuesday, Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II and disgruntled wide receiver Antonio Brown finally had a closed door meeting to clear the air and they both came away that it would be best if both parties separate, according to his tweet and a report from Adam Schefter.

Had a great meeting with Mr.Rooney today we discussed a lot of things and we cleared the air on several issues! We both agreed that it is time to move on but I’ll always have appreciation and gratitude towards the Rooney family and @steelers organization! #CallGod #Boomin pic.twitter.com/DEgURchvhW

Antonio Brown met today with Art Rooney, per source. Then Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus joined the meeting, as did Steelers’ GM Kevin Colbert and exec Omar Kahn. Meeting was cordial and “everyone agreed the trade will be for the best,” per source.

Sources told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that while the team agreed to trade him, they did not grant him or his agent permission to talk to other teams.

The NFL combine gets going one week from today, so it’s safe to say that the Steelers will be quite busy trying to find suitable trade partners.
