The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to
have all the interest they need to move wide receiver Antonio Brown fairly
quickly.
According to Ian Rapoport of
NFL.com, the Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals are among
the leading candidates to trade for Brown, who looks increasingly likely to
depart Pittsburgh by March 17.
The date is significant as Brown
will be due a $2.5 million roster bonus if he is still a member of the Steelers
at that point. Pittsburgh would prefer not to pay that bonus to a player who
clearly has no plans to stay with the team.
Several other teams have been linked to Brown, and it’s increasingly clear
that his controversial public stances aren’t really hurting
his market that much. It appears a resolution could come quickly.
