The Antonio Brown trade rumors are not going away any time soon.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are now expected to hear trade offers for their disgruntled wide receiver prior to the start of free agency.
Brown missed the Steelers’ Week 17 game after a reported spat with his teammates and coaching staff, and speculation has run wild that he might want to continue his career elsewhere.
The 30-year-old receiver is due to collect a $2.5 million roster bonus on March 15 -- the third day of the 2019 league year -- and thus any trade involving him will likely occur before then.
