Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert is trying to find a trade partner to unload Antonio Brown, but if a trade partner can't be found, he thinks that Brown and Ben Roethlisberger will make up.
Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network asked Colbert how Roethlisberger could want to play with Brown after everything he has said, and Colbert said something along the lines of people make up.
I asked Kevin Colbert that last week. Asked him how Ben Roethlisberger could want to play w/ him… he said, effectively: people make up.

It still seems like the Steelers first choice is to trade him, and most of the rumors were that a trade would be completed by Friday. Colbert has made it clear that he wants to trade to a team that the Steelers don't want to play a lot, but isn't ruling it out to get a trade done.
“Ideally, you want to trade him to somebody that you'll never play,” Colbert said via ESPN. “But you can't do that. If you're good enough to get to the Super Bowl, you have to play him anyway.”
Even with Colbert's comments about Brown and Roethlisberger getting along if a trade doesn't get down, it's hard to imagine there is any way the two can be on the same team again.
It is clear that Brown has comments about the veteran quarterback and airing them out in the public eye is the route he has decided to go. Cobert could try to get the two sides to talk and come to an agreement but it still seems like the best option for both sides is to get a deal done.
