Martavis Bryant made it pretty clear last year that he didn't want to be a Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver anymore when he asked for a trade before last year's trade deadline.

His feelings haven't changed and although they didn't trade him during last year's deadline, the Steelers are now listening to offers according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.

“The noise around this situation has died down since October, when Bryant’s trade demands became public. But with one year left on his contract, Bryant is still hoping to find a situation that gives him a chance to function as a team’s No. 1 option. That’s not going to happen with Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell in Pittsburgh, obviously, and Pittsburgh has been quietly listening to offers over the past couple of months. Part of the holdup has been that some of the league’s more receiver-needy teams, such as Baltimore and New England, are rivals to whom the Steelers wouldn’t want to trade such a talented player. Pittsburgh is a win-now team that believes Bryant can help it win in 2018, so the offer has to be good.”

Even with the trade request hanging in the air, Bryant had a nice year in 2017 for the Steelers. All told, he finished with 50 receptions for 603 yards and three touchdowns.

He has proven to be a good wide receiver if he can stay on the field. He was suspended in 2015 for four games, and in 2016 for the entire season for a violation of the substance abuse policy, but, overall, Martavis Bryant is a legit National Football League wide receiver.
