Late Thursday night into Friday morning the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills were discussing a trade involving receiver Antonio Brown.
The talks fell apart and the Bills eventually moved on after not being able to get Brown to commit to showing up after the trade was completed.
Update from the #Bills on the Antonio Brown: After intense talks that went into last night, and almost getting there on trade compensation, Buffalo says they are out. The #Steelers now must find another suitor.

According to NFL insiders, there are very few options left for the Steelers to be able to trade Brown. Not only do the Steelers have to find a willing trade partner, it has to be to a team that Brown will show up to.
Steelers and Bills discussed a trade involving WR Antonio Brown, I'm told, but Brown was clear that he didn't want to go to Buffalo. Source said that there are "very few options left" for the Steelers/Brown.

Brown has made it clear he wants out of Pittsburgh. He’s also made it clear that it has to be to a team he wants to play for or he simply won’t show up.
These are diva receiver antics taken to the highest level.
