Myself along with many on this board wanted this kid.

quote:

LATROBE, Pennsylvania -- The Steelers made just one splashy -- and much-needed -- free agent signing this past offseason, tight endLadarius Green. They have yet to see him in their offense, though, and a member of the organization, informed of the player's health, said it has nothing to do with the tight end's surgically-repaired ankle -- but is instead an issue with recurring headaches.


quote:

Green, then a member of the Chargers, complained of headaches after suffering two concussions in two weeks last September, according to a report in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Those were his second and third concussions in less than one calendar year. Green sat out one game last season due to a concussion, while ankle issues sidelined him for two others. A concussion also caused Green to miss one game during the 2014 season.

PFT-

Steelers tight end Ladarius Green has not been missing practice due to his surgically repaired ankle but rather because of recurring headaches, NFL Network reported Thursday.

Green has not practiced, in the spring or this summer, with his new team. He remains on the physically unable to perform list, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has said little about the situation.

Speculation has mounted regarding the possibility that the Steelers may have to plan to play without Green.

Green had two concussions in an 11-day span last September with the Chargers. The cause of his recent headaches is unknown.

The Steelers, who signed Green in March, are concerned about Green and about their tight end situation. The group behind Green consists mostly of young and unproven players, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said recently that he needs to see more from that group.

----avoided another Jairus Byrd?

The Green ones may not last much longer...

More PFT-

The NFL Media report, attributed to an unnamed member of the Steelers, regarding the recurring headaches suffered by tight end Ladarius Green raises questions about the player’s future, and regarding his contract.

First, rumors of Green dealing with lingering headaches have been circulating since training camp opened. The person who first mentioned the ongoing headaches to PFT suggested that Green is considering retirement. If the headaches don’t resolve, retirement remains an option.

Second, earlier today the same source told PFT that there’s new speculation that the Steelers may eventually cut Green.

Third, the Steelers could end up recovering (or at least trying to recover) Green’s $4.75 million signing bonus. If he retires, Green definitely owes the money. Even if he’s cut, however, there’s a chance the Steelers could make the same argument the Patriots advanced three years ago regarding defensive end Jonathan Fanene.

in 2013, the Patriots signed Fanene, gave him a $3.85 million signing bonus, and later cut him due to a knee injury that, as the team argued, came from a condition he had failed to disclose. If Green didn’t tell the Steelers he was still experiencing headaches at the time he was signed (and if he was indeed experiencing headaches), the Steelers could try to recover the $4.75 million.
