Report: Steelers close to Antonio Brown trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers are close to finalizing a deal to trade Antonio Brown, a source told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Dulac says that three teams are still in the running for the disgruntled wide receiver, but adds the deal could be completed soon.

Reports surfaced late Thursday suggesting a trade to send Brown to the Buffalo Bills was imminent, but on Friday, Buffalo's general manager, Brandon Beane, said that no such deal will occur. The star wideout reportedly nixed the potential trade by indicating he wouldn't report to the Bills.

The final batch of teams in the mix has yet to surface, though the Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans, and Washington Redskins were previously identified as interested parties. The New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals are no longer pursuing Brown.
