Big, if not strange, news out of Pittsburgh tonight. NFL Network’s Ian Raporport tweeted out moments ago that WR Martavis Bryant has requested a trade.
Sources: #Steelers playmaking WR Martavis Bryant recently requested a trade. His teammates and coaches are well aware that he’s unhappy.

It’s unclear why Bryant is unhappy and Rapoport doesn’t go into specifics. It could be a lack of playtime. Bryant has been out-snapped by rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster each of the last three weeks and I believe the same held true for today’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
