Brown has reportedly not spoken to Rooney, Coach Mike Tomlin or any other Steelers players since the last game of the season against Cincinnati, a game that he did not play in.

Last month, Rooney told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette they would not cut Brown but that all other options would be explored.

The Steelers cannot officially deal Brown to another team until March 13.
