Could Antonio Brown cost 49ers just a sixth-round draft pick in trade?

Antonio Brown reportedly wants to be a 49er, but the cost is supposed to be high. Like first-round draft pick-type high.

Before San Francisco pays that price for the disgruntled All-Pro wide receiver, though, the team should (and likely will) consider what one longtime NFL personnel man told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week.

As Niners Nation pointed out, that personnel exec said he’d send just a sixth-round pick, with player and team performance conditions making it as high as fourth-rounder, to the Steelers in exchange for Brown.

Why such a low price?
