o Pittsburgh this week and he has asked for a trade Ben Roethlisberger Jersey , but he remains a member of the Steelers and the team’s owner reportedly wants to have a meeting with the wideout to discuss next steps.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Art Rooney II is in Florida and hoped to meet with Brown to “clear the air” while in the receiver’s home state. Brown has no intention of taking that meeting, however, as he’s made his preference clear to the team already.Rapoport adds that talks on Brown’s future should “ramp up” during the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis in a couple of weeks.Brown is due a $2.5 million roster bonus on March 17, so the team may be trying to make a move before that point. No deal can become official until March 13 Antonio Brown Jersey , but, as we saw with Joe Flacco and the Broncos this week, that doesn’t stop reports of an agreement from surfacing. Half a century after he was the first overall pick in the 1969 NFL draft, Mean Joe Greene will get some recognition on draft night.The Steelers have announced that Greene will be in Nashville on Thursday night and will go to the podium to call the team’s first pick.“It is special Greg Lloyd Jersey ,” Greene told the team’s website. “Since my draft day, more than 50 years ago, to be here and to announce the Pittsburgh Steelers No. 1 draft choice is very humbling, very humbling.”Players didn’t attend the draft in Greene’s day Kevin Greene Jersey , and he admits now that he was disappointed to be going to the Steelers, who had only won two games the year before and had never won a championship.“I got a phone call,” Greene said. “I was at my dining room table. Me and [late wife] Agnes. I said ‘Agnes that was someone from the Pittsburgh Steelers. They drafted me number one.’ And I didn’t want to go to that team. I didn’t know any better. All I was dealing with was what I had seen on television. The record. It wasn’t one of my favorite teams. I liked the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns Lynn Swann Jersey , and Dallas Cowboys. They were winning then.”Now Greene is a Hall of Fame Steelers player who went on to have a long post-playing career working for the Steelers, and he says he’s looking forward to meeting their first-round pick.“I will be sure to let him know that this is the best organization in the National Football League,” Greene said.That will be a special moment for some young player on Thursday night.
