Antonio Brown Trade By Steelers Imminent: Report
Trade talks have escalated and a deal is expected soon.
PITTSBURGH, PA - The Steelers have asked teams to give them their best offer for disgruntled wide receiver Antonio Brown and a deal is expected no later than Friday, according to an ESPN report. A trade would end the drawn-out drama that the wide receiver has orchestrated since December to force the team to move him.
Where Brown is bound remains to be seen. NFL.com reported that three new teams have entered the sweepstakes and that the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals are out of the running.
The Steelers need to move Brown before March 17 or the team will be forced to pay him a $2.5 million roster bonus.
