Martavis Bryant is apparently not too thrilled to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to a report by ESPN, the talented receiver would like to be traded and he would like that to happen sooner rather than later.
“He wants out,” a source close to Bryant said to ESPN. “Point blank.”
Um… yikes!
The receiver was tagged on a comment from an Instagram post by @fantasyfootballcounselor (LOL) pointing out how Martavis Bryant didn't get the ball on a play intended for Antonio Brown during the Steelers' 29-14 win over Cincinnati.
In a since deleted post, he responded:
“JuJu is no where near better than me, fool,” Bryant commented. “All they need to do is give me what I want and y'all can have JuJu and whoever else.”
Per ESPN:
Bryant then clarified those remarks with a new comment that tagged Smith-Schuster, the rookie who caught a 31-yard touchdown Sunday and has cut into Bryant's playing time.
“JuJu is the future and got great talent and is going to be one of the best to play this game,” Bryant commented. “I want him to get his. I just want mines, period, point-blank. Ain't nobody did nothing to get me back. I worked my ass off to get myself back with no help and little support, period. In due time the process will show.”
For what it is worth, while the receiver was said to be heavily involved in practice this past week, he was only targeted two times on Sunday. Not a great way to keep someone happy.
