Antonio Brown might meet with Steelers owner Art Rooney II in Florida. Or he might not.
Today, conflicting reports surfaced from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Around noon Friday, Rapoport reported Rooney was in Florida — where he owns a home — and had hopes of linking up with Brown. However, according to Rapoport, Brown had no intentions of returning the favor and showing up for the meeting.
Sources: #Steelers owner Art Rooney II is down in Florida, where has a place, and he hoped to meet with frustrated WR Antonio Brown to clear the air. Brown has no plans to meet with Rooney, as he’s stated his intentions publicly. Talks on AB’s future will ramp up in Indy.

Less than two hours later, the record scratched and the tune changed. In a follow-up tweet, Rapoport said Brown would in fact meet with Rooney after all.
A development: #Steelers WR Antonio Brown will now meet with owner Art Rooney II, showing respect to the man in charge, sources say.
