The NFL's Ian Rapoport says that the Broncos weren't willing to pay up what Antonio Brown wanted, but that the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders are very interested in pursuing their options. While the Jets are a new entry into the game, the Raiders have expressed interest in Brown from the day he announced that he no longer wanted to be a Steeler.

CBS Sports, meanwhile, believes that Brown will likely be traded by Friday.
Hypothetical situation.
Ben Roethlisberger calls Antonio Brown today. "Hey. It's me. Let's figure this out."

And Fox Sports believes that there's still a long shot about Brown and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will still work it out and the Steelers will merely pick up Brown again, providing that the duo are able to sit down long enough to sort it out.
Whatever the case, football experts believe that this will all be a wrap by Friday, and Antonio Brown can finally be in the news for something other than driving recklessly, beefing with his teammates, and throwing mattresses out the window.
