The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to part ways wide receiver Antonio Brown this offseason. It appears he has given them an idea of where he would like to go next.

There is no shortage of interest in a player of Brown's caliber. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, he would prefer to go to a team with an elite quarterback:

Brown's request is certainly understandable. He has become accustomed to putting up monster numbers with a potential Hall of Fame quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger for his whole career. The 30-year-old does not have time to wait for a young quarterback to develop into a franchise player under center. It seems he is hoping to hit the ground running elsewhere.

Fortunately, there are a number of potential suitors that can oblige Brown's request. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert confirmed that three teams have already contacted the team about a potential trade. It is safe to say that they will continue to field offers in hopes of getting the best deal possible.

Brown is not the only one with specific requests in the trade. Pittsburgh will have its own restrictions as well after making it clear that they will not be shipping Brown to any team in the AFC North or the New England Patriots. This means quarterback Tom Brady can be checked off the list of elite quarterbacks he could possibly join forces with.
