PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers have set loose parameters for an Antonio Brown trade.
The team would prefer to send Brown to an NFC team for competitive reasons, a source told ESPN. The New England Patriots and AFC North rivals are considered no-trade zones, but the Steelers would rather see Brown affect wins and losses in another conference, if possible.
General manager Kevin Colbert told local media Wednesday the team will be judicious in how it selects Brown's potential destination.
"I mean, when you're trading away a player like this who could determine your own record and your own Super Bowl potential, of course you want to not trade him to teams that might be a factor," Colbert said.
