Although previous reports have indicated the Steelers were planning to trade Antonio Brown by Friday, the club does not have a solid deadline in place to deal its superstar wideout, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Twitter link), who adds the Steelers are still discussing Brown with multiple clubs.
As of Thursday afternoon, no team was considered the favorite to land Brown, reports Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com (Twitter link), who also disputed that Pittsburgh is demanding a first-round pick in talks. However, a number of clubs may have begun to drop out of the running. The Redskins, Saints, Titans are all thought to be out on Brown, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN.com (Twitter links). Tennessee “seriously contemplated” a trade for Brown, per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com, but it doesn’t appear the Titans will land him.
Reading between the lines, it’s entirely possible the Steelers aren’t receiving offers they deem acceptable. A number of teams have been mentioned as possible suitors for Brown, but given that no favorite has emerged, it’s fair to wonder if Pittsburgh will need to lower its sights. The Steelers are motivated to move Brown before March 17, when he’s due a $2.5MM roster bonus.
What? No deadline? You have got to be kidding me!
Fake news media will run the same stories every couple weeks. Rarely these “rumors” ever turn out good
Is the guy who visits a site with ‘rumors’ in the title actually taking a shot at ‘fake news’ media in sports. You don’t even realize how stupid you are do you?
Im not sure that he is critiquing this particular website but more so the reporters that purposefully spread false info to drum up clicks or to try and make other teams panic make a deal among many reasons. journalism is pretty corrupt and in sports its no different.
You can typically find such stories on pages labeled ‘rumors’
This site long ceased to be just a rumor site bud. You might need to look in the mirror
Ian’s that the name of this site?
Completely unnecessary. I’ll never understand the contempt for someone else’s opinion, especially to the point where someone calls another “stupid.”
cry about it
You’re going to jail soon, Lil Donnie.
But the supporters will persist
Steelers franchise, ownership and front office is turning into a joke. First bell and now Brown. They get a big pass because they are the Steelers.
Going to Buffalo, enjoy that
Brown to Bills.
I’m laughing because he was thinking San Fran was going to pick him up. Probably was looking forward to nice sunny weather, and now he’s most likely headed to Buffalo that gets 3 ft of snow each week during the season.
You can laugh all you want, because it looks like you are a Steelers fan, and you aren’t getting sh*t for him. I think a 3rd rounder would be a significant win for the Steelers at this point.
Lmao have fun in Buffalo, AB.
He won’t get traded there. Not for anything of value. Because they’ll want to talk to him first, and he’ll tell them he’ll be a problem. So they won’t give up anything. I don’t believe Pit can get a 5th rounder for him, maybe not even a 6th, because he’ll just intentionally cause them problems.
Lmaoooo it’s already been reported tf you mean won’t get traded there? You’re actually brain dead if you truly think Pitt can’t get more than a 5th
Steelers think they are sticking it to AB by sending him to Buffalo. Without him and Bell they will be flat out garbage. 7-9 at best
