For Pittsburgh Steelers fans like myself who never took the initial rumors of a possible trade Antonio Brown seriously when they first emerged after Week 17, the receiver’s social media posts on Tuesday and the subsequent reports confirming an official trade request had been made were something of a wake up call.
Given the column inches already dedicated to the subject on this site and many others, most fans are already well aware of the salary cap implications of trading Brown, but given the inaccurate reporting by some notable names in the media as of late, it would appear that a reminder might be in order.
