Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has ended his lengthy standoff with the team by meeting with President Art Rooney II, though any shot at reconciliation between the two sides appears to be out of the question.
Brown, who has asked to be traded, posted a picture on various social media accounts on Tuesday that showed him arm in arm with Rooney at the Palm Beach International Airport.
“We discussed a lot of things and we cleared the air on several issues!” Brown wrote. “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!”
Brown still has three years remaining on the $72 million contract he signed in the spring of 2017, and remains one of the most dynamic performers in the league.
Yet his relationship with the team has deteriorated over the past several months.
• The Cowboys aren’t picking up a team option on the final year of Terrance Williams’ contract, making the receiver an unrestricted free agent after he spent his first six NFL seasons in Dallas.
• Former NFL head coach Dom Capers has joined Jacksonville’s coaching staff as senior defensive assistant, returning to the Jaguars two decades after his first stint with the team.
• The Giants have re-signed tight end Scott Simonson, who appeared in all 16 games last season and earned $705,000. Contract terms for this season were not immediately available.
• The Falcons re-signed offensive tackle Ty Sambrailo to a three-year contract extension.
