NFL owners were told that Steelers’ chairman Dan Rooney may buy out his four younger brothers’ shares in the Steelers by the end of this years.
The Rooney brothers had previously rejected an offer from billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller to buy their shares in September of this year. Their decision followed on the heels of a meeting that all five brothers attended with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in which Goodell made it perfectly clear that the NFL would do everything possible so that Rooney could retain control of the Steelers.
