His salary, his behavior, his demands and what the Steelers want in return have created the perfect storm in Pittsburgh.
There are easier things to do in the world than work out an Antonio Brown trade. By Matt Bonesteel Matt Bonesteel Reporter for the Early Lead Email Bio Follow March 8 at 12:53 PM The Antonio Brown-to-the-Bills rumor mill had a good five-hour run late Thursday into Friday morning, when it became quite clear that the Steelers would not be able to work out a deal that would free them from their disgruntled wide receiver.
“If your squad out there want to win and your squad want a hungry wide receiver who’s the best in the whole world, someone hit my phone,” Brown said in an Instagram video last month. “Tell them I ain’t doing no unguarantees. I ain’t even gonna play myself no more for this NFL, you heard . . . Further complicating this wrinkle is that only the Steelers can negotiate with other teams. Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, cannot. So Pittsburgh not only has to find a team that will give up something big in return, but it also must find a team willing to give Brown a new contract. No pressure!No-trade clauses are pretty rare in the NFL, at least when compared with the other major pro sports.
