Pittsburgh Steelers all-pro wideout Antonio Brown is now available in trade talks, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
After disappearing from team activities coming into their final regular season game, head coach Mike Tomlin has not heard from his wide receiver at all. Brown did not play a snap in the final game of the season due to his disappearance.
Brown is a nine-year-veteran who's played his entire career with the Steelers. He's had six straight years of over 1,000 receiving yards and over 100 receptions total. He's been the best wide receiver in the league consistently year after year. Though he lets his stardom get to his head and can be a bit of a diva, he's so good for the Steelers that it shouldn't even matter.
For the Steelers this past season Brown had 104 receptions and 1,297 reception yards while corralling in a league-leading 15 touchdowns.
The Steelers had a very controversial season this year. It seems like there was a lot of toxic behavior and personalities from within. The team needs a culture reset.
Mike Tomlin fired their outside linebackers coach Joey Porter this past week for suspicions that he had encouraged behavior that wasn’t indicative of positive culture building.
The team will be having a lot of personnel and roster changes moving forward. Nobody isn’t up for grabs, seeing that their own best player is on the trading block.
The Steelers ended the season at 9-6-1 and finished 2nd in their AFC North Division. The Baltimore Ravens ended up winning 10 games clinching the division and a playoff position.
