his team was never near a deal to bring in Antonio Brown Ryan Switzer Jersey , despite reports to the contrary.Beane said on that although he did talk to the Steelers about what kind of compensation they would want in a trade, the Bills and Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, never came close to any kind of agreement about a contract for Brown. The Steelers eventually traded Brown to the Raiders, who were willing to meet his contract demands.“We had productive talks with Kevin Colbert, with Pittsburgh Hines Ward Jersey , but one of the things I made clear with Kevin early on is we would have to be comfortable with where the compensation is going to have to be with AB’s representatives, and that was never something that we were even close on,” Beane said.Beane said that by the time reports emerged that a deal could be close, he already knew it wasn’t going to happen.“We just didn’t get far enough down the road,” Beane said. “There’s compensation with the Steelers and then there’s compensation with the player. We were just never able to work out all sides to make that happen. It had totally died down before that tweet came out that was erroneous. It wasn’t like it was heating up at that point. Talks had stalled well before.”Brown and Rosenhaus made it clear that a team trading for Brown had better be willing to pay him what he thinks he’s worth.

EDTShareTweetShareShareOla Adeniyi still feels he has a lot to prove to earn his roster spot in 2019Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY SportsWhile there might not be an opportunity for a new starter to emerge at outside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019, with T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree expected to command the starting roles this year, limited depth at the position should theoretically provide plenty of chances for the reserve players to prove their worth this season. A relatively inexperienced outside linebacker group relied almost exclusively on Watt and Dupree in 2018 Isaiah Buggs Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , with Anthony Chickillo the lone option on the bench for most of the season after Olasunkanmi Adeniyi began the year on the physically unable to perform list. But even when he did return in Week 13, the undrafted rookie would see just 10 snaps on defense over the remaining five games, all of them coming in one game the Los Angeles Chargers. Heading into his second season, the former Toledo product is hoping to be much more involved on defense on game day; focused on improving his coverage skills and adding to his pass rushing moves in an effort to prove he deserves more playing time when speaking to reporters during OTAs.And despite recording an interception during practice, the young linebacker believes he still has a lot of work to do when it comes to his pass coverage. The Steelers decision to ignore his position in the early stages of the draft does not appear to have given Adeniyi any greater sense of security as a second-year player, regardless of the lack of other options at outside linebacker. Still feeling he has something to prove if he is to earn his roster spot again this year Isaiah Buggs Jersey 2019 , Adeniyi is taking nothing for granted this offseason.An impressive preseason in 2018 gave fans an indicator of what Adeniyi could do as a pass rusher, recording three sacks and nine tackles in the four games he played in. He also recorded two forced fumbles with two of those sacks. And if he can provide some help in coverage as well, the Steelers may yet another viable option at the position.
